Further work by Severn Trent Water to prevent sewer flooding for residents in Cheltenham gets underway next week.
The water company is investing an additional £1.5 million in replacing the existing sewers in the Lansdown Terrace Lane area of the town with new, larger pipes.
Paul Dennison, Senior Solution Engineer at Severn Trent Water explained:
“The sewers in the Lansdown Terrace Lane area haven’t been able to cope during periods of heavy rainfall, which has resulted in several properties being flooded. It’s a truly horrific experience and we’re going to do all we can to help prevent it happening again. “
NMCNomenca, Severn Trent’s contract partner, will start the work next Monday – the scheme is due for completion in December.
The water company has already invested around £6 million over the last 12 months to improve the sewers in Cheltenham.
Craig Nienaber, Business Development Manager for Safe Access Solutions (SAS) at HUBER Technology, explores why the company is seeing a growing level of interest in its safe access solutions for critical infrastructure providers, including their application in wastewater treatment assets.
