Marchamley Water Mains – Update 17 June

Catherine Webb, Community Communications Officer, Severn Trent Water has provided the following update on progress with the project to replace water mains in Marchamley:

“We have now renewed 900 meters of water main. As the carriage way is so narrow with sharp bends along the main road outside of Wood Farm, we have now decided to use a manned traffic convoy with traffic light for the safety of traffic users and our work force. This will be reviewed as work progresses.”
