An update from Cllr Andrew Sheldon; TARPOTS WATERMAIN REPAIR UPDATE:
ROAD NOW DUE TO BE FULLY REOPEN ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT READY FOR THURSDAY MORNING RUSH HOUR
I spoke to the site manager again this morning and unless they hit any further delays the road is now due to be FULLY REOPEN BY THURSDAY MORNING RUSH HOUR.
I know that our local MP has written to Essex and Suffolk Water Management about investment in the whole local network, but I asked what could be done locally to better prevent further burst mains at this specific location as one of the main arteries into and out of the Borough. Essex and Suffolk Water network analysts are now seeing if they can remove the main at the site completely (at a later date) and supply Thundersley through other existing connections.
I will continue to post further updates as I get them.
