Summary
- A year-long £1.5m project will replace 2.2 miles of water mains.
- The work aims to reduce leaks and improve water supply reliability.
- Temporary traffic management will be in place throughout the year.
Work has commenced on a crucial £1.5 million project in Keighley, set to last for one year. This initiative involves replacing 2.2 miles of water mains that have been identified as prone to leaks and bursts.
The primary goals of this extensive undertaking are to significantly decrease water loss through leaks and to enhance the overall reliability of the drinking water supply for the community. The project is expected to prevent future water main bursts, improving service for customers.
Temporary traffic management will be a visible aspect of the project, adapting its location as the work advances along various streets including Braithewaite Avenue and Coronation Way. This project is a component of Yorkshire Water's broader five-year, £406 million plan to renew over 621 miles of water mains.
