The work along Henfold Drive is now in the testing phase. This is an important stage of the project, where the new pipe is checked to ensure it’s safe and ready to supply drinking water.
Once testing has been completed, the final stages of the project will include:
- Connecting individual properties to the new water main
- Connecting the new pipe into the existing network
- Taking the older section of main out of service
Henfold Drive – mains renewal
As part of SES Water’s programme to improve the long-term reliability of your drinking water supply, we will be replacing 948 metres of the existing water main on Henfold Drive.
Properties along the route will be connected to the new main, after which the old pipe will be safely taken out of service to complete the upgrade.
If you have any questions, please contact your SES Water Customer Liaison Officer, Tracey Buckland, who will be happy to help on 07368 504785 between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays).
