Work details
We will be installing vital equipment onto our existing system in order to maintain water supplies and avoid a drop of pressures as demand on the network increases in the area.
Starting on Monday 2 February 2026 we will be starting to dig into the verge off of Rattle Road opposite Wood Sage Way.
We will be connecting several properties to our wider network during this time, as well as installing some vital equipment to ensure that we can maintain pressures in the area as the population grows.
Will there be roadworks?
As we start work in the verge near Rattle Road and Wood Sage Way, some traffic lights will need to be installed to ensure the safety of passersby, motorists and our team.
These three-way lights will be in place for the duration of the work.
This webpage will be updated as work progresses.
We do all we can to minimise disruption to the community when laying new water mains and always look to install pipes in locations which will cause the least disruption, such as grass verges and when in a road, as close to the verge as possible.
In the case of Rattle Road, residents and businesses will still be able to access their properties.
We’ll be working mainly in the grass verge, but also carrying out some work in the road.
As with all our roadworks, we always maintain access for emergency services. Emergency services are briefed well in advance. Our team will work as quickly as possible to make working areas safe for emergency vehicles to cross.
Bin collections and postal deliveries will still be able to access properties for the duration of our work. We advise of these services of our works and it is up to these providers to ensure that their services can continue during our works. Our on-site team will work with providers.
As the work will require connections to the existing network, there will be a short interruption in supply. We will notify you in advance when this is due to happen if you are impacted by this.
