Note from Wessex Water about this work
Relining and sealing sewers in this way helps protect the environment, preventing foul water escaping and groundwater entering sewers, which can lead to flooding or storm overflows automatically discharging into rivers or the sea if the system becomes overwhelmed.

This work will be carried out between Monday 11 May and Friday 22 May 2026, using ‘no-dig’ techniques, which are quicker and less intrusive than replacing the pipe in a conventional manner.

• Monday 11 – Friday 15 May 2026 – A road closure will be in place on Southbrook, at the junction with Elder Road between 8pm and 6am each day.

• Monday 18 – Friday 22 May 2026 – Three-way traffic lights will be in operation on Southbrook, at the junction leading to Egdon Close. Access will be maintained for residents, although it may be delayed at times and our on-site team will work with customers with regard to any specific access requirements.

There may be some noise disruption while this work, some of which will be completed at night, is carried out but every effort will be made to keep this to a minimum.

Water and sewerage services can be used as normal unless we advise otherwise.

We will shortly be writing to local customers to advise them about this work.
