We are investing £166,000 to install new water mains in Alton to improve resilience in the area.
We will be installing 180 metres of pipeline on Chawton Park Road adjacent to Alton Community Hospital to reinforce our network to reduce the risk of low pressures in the area, with the population increasing as more than 500 new properties are being developed nearby.
This work is part of our ongoing programme to improve our water supply network and forms part of our commitment to invest £489 million improving our infrastructure between 2020 and 2025.
Work is currently scheduled to start on Monday, 22 April 2024 and as a safety precaution for pedestrians, motorists and our workforce, a small section of Chawton Park Road will be closed between Beechwood Road and Connaught Way, with a diversion in place via the A31.
Access to Alton Community Hospital and local amenities will be maintained, but the direction vehicles may need to come from may vary due to the closure
Our workforce will work as quickly and safely as possible to complete the project sooner.
The work will take place during normal working hours, although there may be some activities at evenings and weekends.
We will provide regular updates on the project as we progress with the work.
