We’re committed to providing a reliable and resilient water supply to you and four million other residents in our region. That’s why we’ve invested £2.6million in upgrading Potton’s local pipe network.

You can view our new pipeline route here.

We send nearly a billion litres of clean, healthy water a day down enough pipes to stretch from Potton to Sydney and back, and that infrastructure needs maintenance and investment. When a water pipe gets old there is an increased risk of bursts and leaks causing loss of supply and wasted water. 

This work is part of a larger investment across our region. We already have the lowest level of leakage in the UK water industry, but we want to drive that even lower to reach world beating standards. As well as replacing older pipes, our growing army of leakage detectives will be out every day using the latest innovative technology to find leaks on the network.

It’s all part of our long-term commitment to love every drop. We are investing in people, technology, and infrastructure to provide the very best service to you, whilst reducing our impact on the environment.

What are we doing?

We’re replacing 5.2km of water pipes between Dunton and Potton to make sure your supply is safe and reliable for decades to come. We aim to complete this work by the end of May 2023. We’re sorry for the delay from our original date at the end of December 2022, our team are working hard to complete this as soon as possible.
