Improving the water supply network in Waltham St Lawrence

Monday, 29 April

We have now completed our work on the project, after returning to site last week to carry out the outstanding works under four-way traffic lights at the junction of Broadmoor Road, Shurlock Road and The Street.

The road has been fully re-opened and we will complete our final checks this week.

Wednesday, 24 April

We have now resumed our project in Broadmoor Road to complete the remaining work. To do this, four-way traffic lights are now in place at the junction of Broadmoor Road, Shurlock Road and The Street.

Our team will work as safely and quickly as possible to complete the work.

Tuesday, 16 April

We are scheduled to return to complete the work on our project in Broadmoor Road next week.

All service transfers onto our new main have been completed, but four-way traffic lights will be in place at the junction of Broadmoor Road, Shurlock Road and The Street from Monday (22 April) to enable us to complete a cross-connection to close the project.

Our team will work as safely and quickly as possible to complete the outstanding works.

Monday, 25 March

We have now completed all service transfers and have closed off the old water main at Pool Lane.

To complete the project, we will need to carry out a final road crossing at the Shurlock Road end, which we cannot complete at this time due to other works in the area. As such, we will need to return to site at a later date to undertake this.

We will provide a further update when we have a date of return to carry out this work.

Thursday, 21 March

We have now been able to make the final connection and we are working to complete the service transfers this week.

As part of this, the traffic lights have been moved up to Poole Lane to enable us to continue working on the final stages of the project.

Thursday, 14 March

We have completed the road crossing to The Paddocks, but the recent inclement weather has impacted our work and we have not been able to make the final connection to transfer services to the new main due to flooding in the area, with high water levels in the adjacent ditch caused by the significant rainfall.

This has delayed the completion of our project, but we are working hard to try and excavate to make the final connection and complete the service transfers as quickly as possible, dependent on weather conditions.

Wednesday, 28 February

We have now restarted our work in Broadmoor Road to transfer customers to the new main and complete the project.

Temporary traffic lights are now in place on Broadmoor Road from Shurlock Road towards Poole Lane and will remain in place until the work has been completed.

We are also currently working to deal with local ditch and road flooding in the area.

Monday, 19 February

Our work to complete the project in Broadmoor Road is set to resume next Monday (26 February), as scheduled.

Temporary traffic lights will be in place while we transfer customers to the new main and complete our work, including reinstatement of the road.

Thursday, 8 February

Due to other maintenance works in the area, we will be pausing our works this week.

The road will be reinstated and open to traffic from the end of tomorrow (Friday), with the temporary traffic lights to be taken down.

We are due to return to transfer customers to the new water main and complete our work from Monday, February 26, when temporary traffic lights will again be in place along Broadmoor Road.

Monday, 29 January

We will soon be transferring customer services to the new main, once we have completed pressure testing and sampling in the area.

The temporary traffic lights at the junction of Shurlock Road have now been changed to four-way lights, which will remain in place until the road has been returned to its original condition.

Monday, 22 January

We have now completed laying 450 metres of new water mains in Broadmoor Road, with pressure testing and sampling currently taking place, which will then allow us to commission the new water main to bring it into service.

Once this is done, we will look to transfer customer services to the new main.

The temporary three-way traffic lights at the junction of Shurlock Road will remain in place while we return the road to its original condition.

Monday, 15 January

We have now completed a second connection to our existing network as work continues on the project to lay 450 metres of new water mains in Broadmoor Road.

Three-way temporary traffic lights remain in operation at the junction of Shurlock Road and will be in place for the remainder of the work to allow us to complete laying the final section of pipeline.

Monday, 8 January

We have resumed our project to lay 450 metres of new water main in Broadmoor Road, Waltham St Lawrence, after a pause over the Christmas break.

Three-way traffic lights have been installed at the junction of Shurlock Road to complete the final section of the project, with a connection to our existing network being made today (Monday).

Monday, 18 December

We have now completed laying 420 metres of the water main in Broadmoor Road.

Our work has now been paused over the Christmas period with the trench tarmacked over and the road re-opened during the holidays, with work set to resume on site on Tuesday, 2 January.

When we return, we will be installing temporary three-way traffic lights at the junction of Shurlock Road to complete the final section.

Monday, 11 December

We are now around three quarters of the way through our project to lay 450 metres of new water main in Broadmoor Road in Waltham St Lawrence.

We have laid 336 metres of the pipeline to date, with work continuing this week on the project ahead of the Christmas period.

Monday, 4 December

We are continuing with work on our project to lay 450 metres of new water main in Broadmoor Road this week.

After carrying out trenching work last week, we are looking to lay another 80 metres of pipe in the coming days, which would take the total laid to more than 300 metres.

Monday, 27 November

We have now completed laying more than 50 per cent of the pipeline in Broadmoor Road.

So far, 252 metres has been laid to date, with work continuing this week as we make steady progress with the project to lay 450 metres of new water mains.

Monday, 20 November

Another 60 metres of pipeline has been laid last week, taking the total up to 170 metres of new water mains in Broadmoor Road so far.

In addition, more than 70 metres of trench has now been cut as we continue to make steady progress on the project.

Monday, 13 November

We have continued our work on the project in Broadmoor Road this week, with open cut trench work carried out ahead of more main being laid.

Recent sustained rainfall has slightly hindered progress, with the team on site having to constantly pump out the trench due to the wet weather.

Monday, 6 November

We have now laid 110 metres of water main in Broadmoor Road as part of the project.

Monday, 30 October

We have continued to lay the water main in the road this week and have now completed 50 metres of the 450-metre project.

Work on the project will continue within the carriageway and verges of Broadmoor Road over the coming weeks.

Monday, 23 October

We have laid just over 40 metres of new pipeline. This week, we will be continuing to install the new main in Broadmoor Road.

Monday, 16 October

We have mobilised to site this week, set up our traffic management and have completed the first connection to our existing network.

We will be continuing to provide further updates as we progress with the project.

Tuesday, 10 October

We have now started work on our project to replace around 450 metres of a burst-prone water main in Waltham St Lawrence.

Temporary traffic lights are now in place on Broadmoor Road near Pool Lane and we will be undertaking our first connection to the existing network on Thursday.

We will continue to provide updates as the project progresses.
