A Summer of Disruption in Marchamley

This week Severn Trent Water has written to residents in Marchamley setting out details of work to replace water mains in the area. The letter states that the work will start in the week commencing 20 May and will be completed by the end of September.
In order to help residents to be as fully informed as possible STW is hosting a drop-in session at the Marchamley Club on Wednesday 24 April between 4.00 and 7.00pm.
The company has provided the following map and description of the work:
