A FOUR-month project to upgrade water infrastructure in Bourton-on-Dunsmore is in the pipeline.
Severn Trent is starting work on a £233,000 project to upgrade 939m of water pipes in the village.
The scheme will replace older pipes with newer ones which will be more resilient against leaks and bursts, and futureproof the network so it is ready to meet future demands.
Traffic management measures will be in place during the works, but Severn Trent says access to homes, shops and businesses will be maintained.
The works are part of the water supplier’s £17.7million investment to renew over 26,500km of pipework in Warwickshire.
Severn Trent Community Communications Officer Shannon Currall said: “As time passes, our pipes age – which make them more prone to water quality or supply issues.
“Our pipe renewal programme prioritises those areas where we know there have been issues in the past, to make sure everyone has a more resilient and reliable supply of water both now and into the future.”
Works are due to start today Monday (April 10) and are expected to be completed by the end of July.
