Strategic Water Main Construction on Romney Marsh

I am writing to provide further background on a major capital investment scheme that Veolia Water Southeast is currently undertaking on Romney Marsh. Construction work has now started on Phase 1 of a new strategic water main running from the Denge Water Treatment Works near Lydd to St Mary's Bay. This will replace an older pipeline which has been assessed as having a high risk of bursts. The first phase of construction extends from St Mary's Bay through to Collins Road in New Romney. We have appointed Enterprise Utility Services as the contractor for this phase which is due to be completed by early 2013. Phase 2 of the project between New Romney and Denge Water Treatment Works is being planned for implementation in 2013, with completion in 2014.
