Nostell and Wragby £2.1million mains replacement reaches halfway point
A major Yorkshire Water project to upgrade more than 6km of clean water mains in the Nostell and Wragby area has reached its halfway point.
The £2.1m scheme at Bracken Hill is part of Yorkshire Water’s £406m programme to replace over 1,000km of ageing pipes as part of the its £8.3bn investment plan.
The Bracken Hill element of the work will divert the new main away from the cricket grounds and protecting the pitch.
Jason Farrar, project manager, Yorkshire Water, said: “This mains replacement will provide a resilient water supply to customers in the Nostell and Wragby area and reduce the likelihood of bursts in the future.
"We are working seven days a week in some areas to clear the works as quickly as we can, including this section at Bracken Hill so that we can complete ahead of a busy cricket season.”
Work is due to complete in April and there will be updates of traffic around Garmill Lane, Doncaster Road and Went Lane.
