Tankers were required to transport sewerage earlier this year while Southern Water carried out temporary repairs to burst sections of sewerage pipework that cross the marsh between their treatment works at Motney Hill, Rainham and Poot Lane, Upchurch.
Thank you to Barry Woodham at Southern Water for again keeping residents updated on the progress of these works.
Poot Lane, Upchurch
Hello,
Firstly, we would like to thank you for your support and understanding whilst we completed repairs to the pumped sewer main. We appreciate that the presence of tankers in your area caused inconvenience and disruption and we would like to sincerely apologise for this.
You may have noticed some new activity and vehicle movements along Straight Lane and Poot Lane in the last week as we are now progressing with a permanent repair on the section of pipe from Otterham Quay, through private land toward Poot Lane.
We anticipate that this section of work will be completed in early October 2021 and then our focus will now turn to the future resilience of the remainder of the pumped main to Lower Halstow. The project team are assessing the viable options and associated timescales of replacing or refurbishing the remaining sewer line and we will provide a progress update as soon as possible.
Community engagement
Our Stakeholder Manager, Barry Woodham will continue to work closely with the Lower Halstow Parish Council and the wider community will be updated on the long term project by a dedicated communications team from Southern Water and MGjv, who are delivering the work on behalf of Southern Water.
We appreciate your feedback
We welcome any questions or concerns you may have so please feel free to contact:
