Pressure Control Valves (PRV) Upgrades

We are replacing Pressure Control Valves (PRV's) that help manage water pressure across the drinking water network. These valves typically have a service life of round 25 - 30 years. Replacing them now ensures continued protection of both the drinking water network and your private pipes from too much pressure.

Summary

We are replacing Pressure Control Valves (PRV's) that help manage water pressure across the drinking water network. These valves typically have a service life of round 25 - 30 years. Replacing them now ensures continued protection of both the drinking water network and your private pipes from too much pressure.

This work involves excavation and the use of heavy machinery. Noise may be more noticeable when construction is close to your property.

Short water outages may be required during works. We'll let you know before there are any interruptions to your supply.

There will be temporary traffic management in place where necessary, including parking restrictions, pedestrian detours, and reduced speed limits.
