Yorkshire Water is getting more mains replacement work underway on three separate projects to improve its clean water network in Knaresborough, Barnsley and Seacroft.

YORKSHIRE WATER MAINS REPLACEMENT WORK

The water company is set to begin a £1 million project in Knaresborough on 22 April next week to replace approximately 2km of water mains Contract partners M Group will be carrying out the work on the project, which is expected to take four months.

This week Yorkshire Water’s contract partners Galliford Try and Heffernan Utilities began working on site on a £735,000 project to replace 1.5km of water mains in Jump, Barnsley. Barnsley is one of the priority areas for the mains renewal work. Work obn the first section of the project will complete in mid-May.

In Seacroft, work is already underway on a £1.4 million project to replace approximately 1.8km of water mains. Contract partners OCU Group are carrying out the project, which will be completed in phases and is expected to take around 36 weeks to fully complete.

Yorkshire Water’s AMP8 programme will see 238km of mains being replaced in Yorkshire over the next 12 months alone. Replacing the mains will improve reliability of drinking water supply, reduce leakage and prevent water main bursts in the area. The water company’s £406 million investment to replace more than 1,000km of water mains across the region over the next five years is set to deliver a significant upgrade to its clean water network.
