Water main replacement in Broadhurst Manor Road

Testing of the main has been successfully completed. We have the remaining services to transfer to the new pipe with the final connection scheduled for Tuesday 14 February. We will then start to return the site to its original state.

We’ve now laid 720m of new main, with a further 400m planned to be laid this week via directional drilling. Testing of this new section will take place next week. Once testing is complete, we can start to transfer customer services on to the new main.

We’ve laid 655m of new main to date, with the latest section to be tested and prepared for commissioning this week. We’re refilling the excavations and will be clearing our work area and returning the site to its original state before the Christmas break. Phase two of this project in Chilling Street will begin in the new year.

The first phase of work in private land has now been completed, with the new section of main now commissioned, and the land returned to its original state. The road closure for the next phase of work began on 24 November, and this week we’ll be preparing for the next section of main-laying.

We’re pleased to say that we are running ahead of schedule and so will be closing Hurstwood Lane earlier than planned, on Thursday 24 November.

We’ve now laid 360 metres of new water main, with testing of this section planned for this week. Our road closure in Broadhurst Manor Road is scheduled to start 28 November.

Our £250,000 project to lay 1.2km is due to start on Monday, 17 October.
