We replaced approximately 274 metres of burst-prone water main in Cavell Avenue North and Firle Road, Peacehaven, in a £155,000 project. This work formed part of our commitment to invest £567 million upgrading our infrastructure between 2020 and 2025.

Work started on Monday 27 November, and took approximately eight weeks to complete.

Works have resumed after the Christmas break and we have continued to excavate for the next 50m of pipework. We have also prepared to transfer 10 services to the new main.

A leak was found and repaired while we made a connection to the existing network.
