We’re always working to improve our water network to continue to supply top quality drinking water across the south east.
We’re going to be making some improvements to the water network in the Ringmer area soon.
What's going to happen and when?
We’re going to install new water pipes across different sections to improve our network in the Ringmer area.
By installing this additional pipeline, we’ll be able to supply new developments in the area and maintain the existing water pressure for customers.
The planning for this project is underway and we’re currently aiming to start work from Thursday, 23 July 2026. Our teams will work weekdays and some Saturday mornings.
We expect the project to take approximately four months in total. We’ll do our best to get the work done faster if we can.
We thank you for your understanding while we improve the water supply in your area.
Road closures
Rolling road closures will be in place during the course of the project for the safety of motorists, pedestrians and our work force.
The closures are scheduled to be as follows:
- Junction of New Road and Gote Lane - from Thursday, 23 July for approximately four weeks
- Ringmer Road (cycle lane) - under two-way traffic lights from Monday, 24 August for approximately six weeks.
- New Road - between Monday, 26 October and Friday, 30 October.
Frequently asked questions
We’re sorry for the disruption this work is going to cause; we know it’s inconvenient. We’ll do our absolute best to keep it to a minimum.
We’ll maintain access to homes and businesses during this work.
There may be a wait occasionally if we’re working directly outside the entrance to a property just while our team makes the area safe to cross, or complete an element of work such as a concrete pour.
There may be a short interruption to supply when we connect our new pipes to the existing network.
We’ll let those impacted know if this is going to happen at least 48 hours beforehand.
