We will be replacing existing water mains with a new, high-performance plastic water mains to ensure a quality and reliable water supply.
When will the work take place?
Work will take place on the following roads, between these dates:
*Due to the severe weather experienced at the start of January and machinery issues, the end date for Junction Street has been extended.
**Due to a utility pipeline which was not visible to our teams before excavation, we have had to excavate more trenches than anticipated in Albion Street. This has resulted in a delay in our work to renew water pipes on Albion Street and the remainder of the scheme.
Changes to traffic
To complete the work as safely and efficiently as possible, we will be working in the carriageway with footpath closures in place. An alternative footpath route will be provided for pedestrians.
There will also be a one-way system in place on Roway Lane from 1 to 21 April, with the junction for Albion Street closed for the duration of the work. A diversion will be in place between Dudley Road and West Bromwich Street.
We may need to occupy the space directly outside your property, which may restrict parking. Should this happen, our staff on site will communicate with you to organise sufficient alternative parking.
Access to frontages will always be maintained throughout the duration of the works. If, for any reason, we need to restrict access, we will speak to you in advance.
