Yorkshire Water £460,000 improvement project in Long Riston
The initiative aims to boost the resilience and reliability of the water network
Yorkshire Water is set to embark on a £460,000 project to replace 1.7 kilometres of clean water mains in Long Riston and Routh, located near Beverley in East Yorkshire.
The initiative aims to boost the resilience and reliability of the water network and is scheduled to start on Monday, 11th May.
This project is part of a larger £406 million upgrade plan by Yorkshire Water, which will involve replacing over 1,000 kilometres of water mains across the region by 2030.
Aadam Baluch, project manager at Yorkshire Water, outlined the goals of the improvement work.
“Replacing the clean network with flexible, plastic pipework will improve the quality and reliability of water supplies,” Aadam said.
The project will also reduce leakage and help prevent future bursts, ensuring a higher level of service for customers.
The contract partner for this project, United Infrastructure, will focus on replacing mains pipework along the A1035 between Routh and White Cross roundabout.
The work is expected to take six weeks to complete, with local residents already informed about potential disruptions.
Aadam further mentioned that the investment forms part of Yorkshire Water's broader £8.3 billion programme aimed at enhancing services and infrastructure throughout the region over the next five years.
