A new scheme which started yesterday in Northamptonshire heralds the start of a roll out of pressure management systems over the next five years by Anglian Water.
The water company has started a £1.3 million investment in its water supply network in west Northamptonshire on work designed to significantly reduce the chance of burst mains in the Upper Boddington area.
The work will include improvements to a pumping station near to Upper Boddington and helping to ensure the water in the local pipe network is kept at a more consistent pressure, even during peak times.
This type of pressure management system has been proven to reduce bursts and leaks by a quarter and is something the company will be rolling out to the region over the next five years. When this scheme is complete, Upper Boddington will have the latest technology to minimise bursts.
Paul Valleley, Director of Water Services for Anglian Water, said:
“Since the most recent burst main, last autumn, we’ve been working to understand the root cause of problems in the area.”
"After a thorough investigation, we’ve designed a solution to dramatically reduce the chances of burst mains or similar issues in future.”
