South East Water has completed work on a multi-million pound project to strengthen the water network between Hale and Aldershot.
South East Water has invested more than £4 million to install around four kilometres of new water mains to increase the capacity of the drinking water supplier’s network as the local population grows.
This included laying new pipes in several roads in the area, with more than 1,600 metres of new water mains also installed in private land as part of the project.
South East Water Project Manager Matt Cooper said:
“This was a key project to ensure we can supply thousands of additional properties in the area without affecting the supply to our existing customers.
“We’ve worked hard to complete this within 12 months over different phases, working with landowners, stakeholders and regulators to ensure the right environmental mitigation was in place.
“We thank the local community for their patience while we have carried out this important work.”
The project was part of South East Water’s £489 million commitment into improving its water network during the five year AMP7 investment programme from 2020 to 2025.
