Invitation to public event regarding water supply improvements in Timberscombe

We’re installing new water mains throughout the village of Timberscombe in 2024, an investment of nearly £850,000 to replace the deteriorating water main network throughout the village.

The existing mains having suffered a significant number of bursts and causing inconvenience and disruption to customers in the area. Installing new plastic pipes will ensure you have improved water quality and a more reliable source for years to come.

This work will take place in a number of different stages, between January and September 2024 and will be split into seven separate phases.

Parts of the A396, Vicarage Court, Bemberry Bank, The Glebe, Forge Cottages, Jubilee Terrace, Church Street, Brook Street, Great House Street, Willow View and from Willow Bank to Timberscombe Quarry and Orchard Way will be affected at various times throughout this project. We will notify you ahead of each phase.

Find out more

Given the comprehensive nature and scope of the scheme, we will be holding a public drop-in session for customers to come and discuss the scheme with our project team in further detail.

This will be held in Timberscombe Village Hall (Bemberry Bank, Timberscombe, TA24 7TY) on Tuesday 7 November 2023 between 4-8pm.

Members of both our Operational and Engineering teams will be available to answer questions about the scheme. We hope you will take this opportunity to find out more about this work. Further information as to when and where the work will be carried out will be on display and available to take away.

Anything else you need to know?

After the public drop-in session has taken place, we will write to you again, outlining the scheme in full and notifying you about the start of the first phase of the scheme.

We also plan to regularly update you throughout the course of the project, as one phase ends and another one is about to start.
