Replacing the water mains – NW9/Kingsbury area

Veolia Water is upgrading 4.4km of the underground network of pipes that supply water each day to residents, businesses and schools in­ the Kingsbury area of Brent. This work represents an investment of just over £0.75 million. 

Some of the existing water mains were laid more than 70 years ago and have given many years of good service, but have now reached the end of their useful lives. The majority of these pipes are cast iron, which have begun to weaken and this has made them vulnerable to leaks and bursts. By replacing targeted sections of the water mains network, Veolia Water will be able to continue supplying water to the local community for many years to come.

This work is expected to start on Monday, 13 February and is being carried out by our contractor Balfour Beatty Utility Solutions Ltd. Work is due for completion by early September.  The following roads will be affected by the work:

Ash Tree Dell	Kingsbury Road
Buck Lane	Oak Tree Dell
Charlotte Place	Roe Green
Fairfield Crescent	Summit Avenue
Hay Lane	The Grove
Highfield Avenue	Townsend Lane
High Meadow Crescent	Uphill Drive
Hillside	Wakemans Hill Avenue

All customers affected by the work will receive a letter and customer leaflet (copy attached) before works start in their street to advise them of the project.  We are working closely with Brent Highways Department to ensure that this scheme runs as smoothly as possible and residents, businesses and schools are kept informed.   

Vulnerable and elderly customers are being encouraged to notify Veolia Water of their special needs by registering on our Safeguard scheme. This can be done online at www.veoliawater.co.uk/central or through our call centre on 0845 782 3333.
