Exhibition About Major Water Works

People can find out more later today about the major work starting later this month to replace water pipes in Market Harborough.

Severn Trent are hosting an exhibition at the Methodist Church on Northampton Road between 4pm and 7pm detailing the plans.

The £2m scheme to replace three miles of pipes, some over 60 years old in places, will take a year to complete and see a number of road closures during the work.

It follows a number of burst pipes in the past few months, including on The Broadway and Douglas Drive.

The burst on The Broadway

The first stage will see Rockingham Road closed at the railway bridge for five days from February 18^th while trial holes are dug underneath it as part of initial investigation work.
