We've now completed our £210,000 project to replace a section of water main on Turners Mill Road in Haywards Heath.
The project started in October 2024 and was finished in March 2025. The work formed part of our ongoing commitment to improving water quality and reliability for the community, following some water quality issues in the area which is unacceptable.
We installed around 385 metres of new pipeline, ensuring residents have access to a consistent supply of top quality drinking water.
The work was split into two phases, falling either side of Christmas 2024.

Project update
We've installed and tested the new water main pipe on Turners Mill Road up to Penland Rd and work on Turners Mill Close has now started.
We will be carrying out more tests in the next week to ensure that we are providing top-quality drinking water to our customers in the area before we then start transferring customer services to the new main. Once completed, we will look to reinstate our working area.
We'll be connecting the mains pipes up to the wider network before this weekend (15th February).

Project Update
The first section of pipe has been laid and is now live on our water network.
The road is in the process of being put back to a safe and drivable condition as we look to continue transferring the supply of water for the next section of water main to our wider network.
Work is set to begin on the section next to the cul-de-sac marking the 3rd section of pipeline that will be connected to the network.
Work on phase one is still on track to be completed before Christmas where our teams will leave the working area and put the road back to a normal condition before returning in January to start on phase two.
