INVESTIGATORY works are to begin next month in villages near Leominster as part of a water main improvement scheme, which will see around £5 million invested.
Welsh Water has announced that, along with contractors M Group Ltd, they will be replacing around 13.8 kilometres of water mains in Yarpole, Moreton, Eye, Luston, and the surrounding areas.
The works, expected to begin on April 13 and to be completed by December 31, 2027, will help to "ensure security of supply" to Welsh Water customers, and "alleviate issues" with both loss of supply or low water pressure, which some customers have faced.
Contractors will begin carrying out work next month on highway and private land, which will inform the design of the construction programme, which is expected to commence by the end of 2026.
A spokesperson for Welsh Water added: "Whilst we are planning and delivering our work, our water distribution team will continue their maintenance work in the community to mitigate any problems, and we will maintain our close working relationships with our customers in the area."
