Falfield, Wotton-under-Edge – Mains Renewal

Our investment

We completed a major programme of water mains renewal in Falfield, replacing ageing pipework with 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

Replaced 3.1km of ageing water mains. 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 across highways and rural lanes, using trenchless installation techniques where possible to minimise ground disturbance. In some locations, traditional excavation methods were used, 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 April 2026.
