We've invested £900,000 to upgrade our fresh drinking water supply network in Paddock Wood to ensure we can continue supplying top quality drinking water to our customers as the local community grows.
Following on from work completed in Mascalls Court Road in 2023, we have now laid around 430 metres of new water main along Gedges Hill and a further 650 metres in Chantler’s Hill.
Work was carried out in two phases during during the school Easter and summer breaks to minimise disruption to the community.
For the safety of the public and our workforce, we closed Gedges Hill and Chantler’s Hill while we carried out this vital work and we thank the community for their patience and co-operation during this time.
