During the week of September 26, Morrison Utility Services will start a £1.3 million project replacing over 13 km of old pipe. In doing so, they hope to improve water quality. The project is expected to go until March 2017, and in order to protect crew members, there have been changes to some traffic areas, including road closures and traffic lights. Customers who wish to learn more about the project are invited to do so by visiting between 4pm and 7pm at the Northern Lights Suite in Whitby.

Key Takeaways:

• During week commencing 26 September our partners Morrison Utility Services will start replacing old water pipes to improve water quality. 13km of water mains in over 40 different streets will be improved.
• In order to reduce disruption, the work is taking place out of the summer season and no work will be undertaken over Goth Weekend (4-6 November) or within the town centre from 5 December until early January.
• Neither Yorkshire Water nor Morrison Utility Services should need access to residents’ properties and residents are being asked to be on their guard against bogus callers while crews are working in the area.
