Rising Main Works

We expect to have an identified solution by this autumn. Once confirmed, we’ll provide a more detailed update. Ground investigation surveys are planned for this winter, which will be visible to the community. We’ll ensure advance notice is given and will be available to answer any questions locally.

Landowner Consultations

The delivery team is keen to begin consultations on potential route options soon. We’d be happy to include you in these discussions to ensure local perspectives are considered.

SuDS Opportunities in the Playing Field

Surveys are scheduled in the coming few weeks to assess the feasibility of reconnecting flow from the existing sustainable urban drainage system within the playing field. We aim to have a draft proposal ready by autumn/winter.

Infiltration Management

Flow surveys and CCTV investigations are underway to help us understand how best to manage infiltration and reduce excess water entering the sewer network. We’re also working to gather updates on property-level surveys carried out by our tactical asset planning team. We’ve been awaiting a response, and I’ll follow up personally to get more clarity for you.

Pump House Investigations

A flow meter has now been installed to support root cause analysis and help us understand how flow is entering the system.
