Our plan to lay a new 15-kilometre-long pipeline between our Wellwood and Potters Corner water storage tanks in Kent will benefit 22,000 customers enabling us to pump more water into the Ashford area.
This scheme is detailed within Ofwat’s Final Determination and represents a commitment to ensure it is completed in a timely manner. Our target is for the scheme to be 60 per cent complete by the end of the 2024/25 reporting period.
How have we performed?
Work to lay the new pipe started in the 2022/23 reporting year and the first phase is now complete.
This is the first section of main to support the Charing area which has seen interruptions to supply during peak periods in the year.
Installation of the rest of the main will continue from April 2025 and we plan to have the entire pipeline fully commissioned by Autumn 2026 as originally planned.
We are at 73 per cent complete for the entire scheme and therefore well on track to complete by Autumn 2026.
