Water main laying completed in first phase of east Kent project

South East Water has completed laying more than eight kilometres of water main in the first phase of their project to increase resilience within their network in east Kent.

Approximately 2.7 kilometres has been laid in the Wichling and Doddington area, and 5.6 kilometres stretches between the Warren Street and Charing service reservoirs. This increased connectivity provides South East Water with greater flexibility to move treated water around their network in times of disruption.

You may still see staff around over the coming days as they finalise their work in phase one, which includes commissioning the new main, returning the sites to their original state, and clearing the compounds.

South East Water would like to thank the communities for their patience while they carried out this vital work. Details about phase two of this project, which will complete the pipework link between Warren Street and Potters Corner, will be publicised soon.
