en.Wedoany.com Reported - Anglian Water's @one Alliance team has completed the installation of over 10 kilometres of water main between Keysoe and Ravensden. This water main upgrade is part of a £3.1 million investment programme to replace old pipes nearing the end of their service life, reducing bursts and water supply interruptions.

Two construction teams started work from each end of the route to shorten the project duration. This water main upgrade replaced old pipes that could have led to repeated bursts. During the installation of the new pipes, the water company also rectified existing issues found along the route, including replacing old lead supply pipes and repairing culvert drainage. This water main upgrade follows a £600,000 network upgrade investment scheme in 2022.

Eastern England is one of the driest regions in the UK and also one of the fastest-growing in terms of population, with over 700,000 new residents expected in the next 20 years. Anglian Water delivers nearly one billion litres of drinking water to customers every day.

This water main upgrade was carried out by the @one Alliance, which brings together specialist teams from Anglian Water's asset delivery division and partner companies including Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, Mott MacDonald Bentley, MWH Treatment, Sweco, and Skanska.

This water main upgrade was advanced against the backdrop of the UK experiencing its driest spring and summer since 1976 and the hottest summer on record. Entering the 2025/26 winter, most of Anglian Water's water resources were at low levels, but subsequently returned to normal levels following months of wet weather and careful management.
