Veolia Water has completed a series of mains renewal schemes which will reduce the risk of bursts and ensure greater security of supply for customers.

The company regularly monitors more than 1,000kms of pipeline in the Folkestone and Dover area and identifies and replaces sections of mains where the risk of bursts is high.

Mains replacement schemes have been completed at Cherry Garden Lane and Cherry Garden Avenue in Folkestone, at Grace Meadow, Whitfield in Dover, at Green Lane in Rhodes Minnis, at Stelling Minnis on Stone Street (B2068), at Lyminge on Longage Hill, and at Agester Lane and Walderchain in Denton.

Veolia Water Southeast Pipelines Manager Steve McIntegart said the schemes will significantly improve security of supply in several areas. ”

The mains renewal schemes were part of a £34.5m investment programme that Veolia Water is undertaking in the Folkestone and Dover area in the five years to 2015.
