Our plan to lay a new 15 kilometre long pipeline between our Wellwood and Potters Corner water storage tanks will benefit 22,000 customers enabling us to pump more water into the Ashford area.
Our plan to lay a new 15 kilometre long pipeline between our Wellwood and Potters Corner water storage tanks will enable 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.
Work to lay the new pipe is due to begin during the 2022/23 reporting year, and by the end of the 2024/25 reporting period we have a target to have spent 60 per cent of the investment budget.
The new water main is due to be fully commissioned by September 2026.
How have we performed?
Our main focus during 2020/21 was to undertake a full hydraulic assessment and to confirm the route and size of the pipeline. This will move to a full design and programme of work which will be developed over the next 12 months.
