Severn Trent is inviting customers to learn more about a new £17 million pipeline project from Severn Trent which is set to begin in Worcestershire.

The water company is working in partnership with South Staffs Water on the project to install 11 kilometres of new pipeline near to Trimpley Reservoir in Kidderminster through to Hampton Loade Water Treatment Works in Shropshire.
Trimpley reservoir was created to supplement the Elan Valley pipeline which transports Welsh water to Birmingham to supply Severn Trent customers.The reservoir’s perimeter is 29 acres and it is approximately 3ft deep. The top reservoir provides water to the Elan Valley Aqueduct which in turn supplies water to Birmingham, Mamble, and Tenbury.
The drop-in session will take place on Thursday, September 7th at Alveley Sports Club on Kidderminster Road, Alveley, Bridgnorth.
Mike Perry, project manager at Severn Trent, said:
“This is an important project, and we would encourage anyone who would like further information about the project to come along to the drop-in session to find out more.”
The works are set to begin on Tuesday, September 12th and will be completed by December 2024.
