Essential repair works will be undertaken to a section of the water mains at Porthloo between 2nd and 6th January 2017. There is a possibility that St Mary's public water customers may experience interruption to their supply during this time. Any interruption will be avoided as far as possible but the scale of the works cannot be anticipated.
Due to the location of the works, the road will need to be closed between 8am and 5pm from Monday 2nd January to Wednesday 4th January 2017. The road will be narrower as a result of the barriers and therefore larger vehicles should take an alternative route.
Once the repairs have been undertaken, there is likely to be some discolouration of the water. This is normal. White ‘milky’ appearing water (which clears on standing) is as a result of aeration to the water and can last several days. Any other discolouration is a disturbance of sediment which will only last a very short time and can be cleared by running your taps.
In the meantime, if you suffer a disruption to your supply please contact the Water Services Department through the Council One Stop Shop on 01720 424000 or if it is ‘out of hours’ please dial 07775 816 279.
