Station Road, Hailsham

Laying this additional pipeline will allow us to provide water to more homes as the community grows. It provides extra support to the network so we can maintain water pressure to existing customers, as well as manage the increased demand in the area.

Together with other projects in Hailsham(opens in a new tab), this will improve the network in the area, providing us with greater flexibility and resilience in the event of an unplanned interruption.

We’re currently planning to start this project on Monday 2 March 2026. We expected the work to take around 17 weeks to complete (TBC).

This work will take place using a mixture of temporary traffic lights and road closures. We’re working with East Sussex Highways to plan this project to keep disruption to minimum for residents and motorists.

At this stage, the details are not confirmed and as soon as we have more information about road closures, including their dates, durations and any diversion routes, we’ll publish it on this webpage. We’re working closely with East Sussex County Council Highways on this to minimise disruption.

While we know traffic management can be disruptive, the safety of both the public and our workforce is a priority. Road closures will be kept to the shortest duration possible to minimise impact to customers and motorists.

Customers with additional needs be it a disability, mental health or financial concerns can sign up to our Priority Services Register to help us understand how we can help you. More information can be found at southeastwater.co.uk/priority
