Water Pipes To Be Replaced In Kibworth & Newton Harcourt During £3m Project
Written by HFM News on 6th April 2022
Major work is to take place to upgrade water pipes in Kibworth and Newton Harcourt.
Severn Trent Water is to spend £3m replacing over three miles of ageing pipework with new plastic pipes, in a bid to reduce the number of leaks and bursts in the area.
Work will start on Glen Road in Newton Harcourt tomorrow and along Fleckney Road and Wistow Road in Kibworth from Monday.
The project is set to be completed by August and will see some temporary road closures, although the firm has pledged access to homes and businesses will be maintained at all times.
Lisa Orme from Severn Trent, said: “Customers in Kibworth deserve a modern water supply that they can rely on. That’s why we’re investing £3 million to upgrade the water network in this area, which will benefit the local community for generations to come.
“We’ll be doing everything we can to minimise the disruption and we’d like to thank everyone in advance for their patience and understanding as we get this essential work done.”
Some work has already taken place to upgrade pipes on private land.
