United Utilities is starting the the third phase of a major scheme to improve water supplies across Cheshire.
Engineers working on behalf of United Utilities will lay a 4.5km section of the water company's new 19.5km pipeline which runs across the heart of the Cheshire countryside from Saturday, January 9 2010.
Ian Grzelak, United Utilities' Project Manager, said:
"Our new pipeline will tackle issues we've had in recent years with low water pressure, which has affected customers in Sandbach, Northwich, Winsford and Middlewich.
"This problem has arisen due to the significant growth in population across this area since the existing water pipes were commissioned - and it is expected to grow in the future.
"Extensive housing development has also put pressure on the water network and at peak times when customers use a lot of water at the same time their water pressure can dip temporarily".
Mr. Grzelak said that the scheme would ensure that hundreds of customers across Cheshire will have a modern and reliable network to meet the needs of its growing population.
The third phase will see engineers working on the northbound side of the A534 Old Mill Road in Sandbach. The scheme is due for completion in the autumn.
