en.Wedoany.com Reported - United Utilities has launched a £2.9 million water main replacement project to replace nearly 11 kilometres of ageing water mains in the Hartford area of Cheshire. The three-month project will install new, more durable and flexible pipes, reducing bursts and leaks and enhancing the resilience of the local water network.

This project is part of United Utilities' plan to upgrade approximately 925 kilometres of water mains across the North West of England by 2030, with over 159 kilometres of this work taking place in Cheshire. Rob Moore, United Utilities' Head of Water Operations for Cheshire, said: "In Cheshire, we are investing £55 million between now and 2030 to help reduce leakage and ensure water flows freely from our customers' taps. To do this, we are upgrading over 159 kilometres of water mains, using new, more durable and flexible pipes designed to withstand high pressures and temperature changes. The Hartford project is a key part of this plan and demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with the highest quality drinking water."

Temporary traffic management and signed diversion routes will be in place during the work, while maintaining access for residents. Customers in the area have been notified. United Utilities has also donated £1,500 to the Hartford Running Club, with the funds raised going directly to Hartford School. The project involves replacing the existing mains with new polyethylene pipes to improve the long-term reliability of the network.
