Pipe upgrades in Norton

SEVERN Trent has begun work to upgrade water mains in and around Norton Lindsey.

Contractors Morgan Sindall will help carry out the work, which will replace 4km of water mains in Heath End Lane, Snitterfield Lane, Blacon Farm Track, Wolverton Road, Littleworth Road and New Road.

Work is expected to continue until October.

Some of the water mains being replaced are as much as 60 years old and are made from iron which is prone to leaks and can disrupt service to customers.
