Digging Up The Roads

During the next couple of months contractors Laing O' Rourke will be digging up roads around Bishopthorpe to carry out major works on the water supply. Both the contractors and Yorkshire Water are anxious to ensure that these excavations are as trouble free as possible.

The works are as follows:-

New main water pipes to be installed in Bridge Road, Myrtle Avenue, and Coda Avenue, this will also mean new  connections to each house as far as Yorkshire Water's stop tap (usually in the pavement or just inside the boundary of the property). If either of the roads are suitable then the new main will be installed by drilling under the road and installing the water main, however if this is not possible due  to other underground services then a trench will have to be excavated in which to lay the new pipe.
 
The main water pipes in Sim Balk Lane, Church Lane, Bishopthorpe Road, Chantry Lane, Main Street, Croft Court, School Lane, Appleton Road, Copmanthorpe Lane, The Coppice, Ferry Lane, Acaster Lane, Montague Road and all cul de sacs, Ramsey Avenue and all cul de sacs, Lamplugh Cresc. Garbett Way, Keble Park North, Keble Drive, Keble Park Cresc. Keble Park South and all cul de sacs, will be cleaned and re-lined. This work entails excavations being dug at intervals along the highway and equipment inserted into the water main which cleans and then re-lines the water pipe.

I understand that a  contractor's representative has delivered or will be delivering contact details etc.  to all affected properties.

I have also agreed to act as a contact should anyone feel that they would prefer  I should act on their behalf. My Tel. No. is 704829, mobile 07973898402.
