Anglian Water is beginning work to upgrade the sewer network in Bletchley, replacing more than a kilometre of sewer pipes.
The work, which represents an investment of £1.4 million into the town’s sewer network, will begin next week and is expected to be complete by October 2023, although this may change due to the nature of construction work.
As sewer pipes age there is an increased risk of bursts and leaks causing potential pollution and interruption to customers’ sewerage services. Damaged pipes put the sewer network under a lot of pressure, which can result in burst sewer pipes. Sewers need require regular maintenance to keep them flowing and ensure pollution does not find its way into the environment.
Anglian Water uses remote CCTV cameras to regularly monitor the state of its sewer pipes, and uses the information to build an investment programme targeted to the areas most in need.
The water company said work to upgrade the sewer network in Bletchley will prevent any disruption in sewerage services for local customers, as well as protecting local rivers and wildlife by minimising the risk of pollution.
The major construction project will see the water company replace more than one kilometre of sewer pipes in Bletchley - there will be no interruption to customers’ facilities during the work.
