Our investment
Combe Hay, Bath – Mains Renewal We completed a major programme of water mains renewal in Combe Hay, replacing ageing pipework with a new, more resilient infrastructure.
The previous cast iron water mains were prone to leaks and bursts due to their age. By installing new pipes, we have improved the reliability of the local water network and reduced the risk of future interruptions to water supplies.
What we achieved
We replaced 3.6km of ageing water mains in Combe Hay. This investment has helped reduce the risk of future leaks and bursts, improving the reliability and resilience of the local water network.
The upgrades have supported ongoing and future development in the area, while customers now benefit from improved water quality and a more reliable water supply. Works were completed using a combination of trenchless and traditional construction techniques, with all affected areas reinstated following completion of the work.
Project timeline
The scheme was completed in August 2026, following construction works that began in June 2026.
