Upgrading Newham’s Water Network
Thames Water is investing £6.2 million to replace over 50km of ageing Victorian pipes in your area, helping to secure a more reliable water supply for years to come.
Where:
- Wolseley Rd - E7 9PE – 4 Aug-15 Sep
- Lucas Ave - E13 0RL – 4 Aug-5 Oct
- Ohio Rd - E13 8EL – 8 Aug-12 Sep
Why this matters:
- Fewer leaks and bursts – saving water and reducing emergency repairs.
- Less disruption long-term – fewer roadworks in the future.
- Stronger, modern infrastructure – new plastic pipes with a 100-year lifespan.
- Improved reliability – helping us deliver reliable, high quality water supply.
Work will begin on Monday 4 August in the areas mentioned above, with other locations to follow. The project is expected to last for approximately two years. Thames Water is collaborating closely with the Highways Authority and the Council to limit any impact.
