Yorkshire Water is set to begin a £1.5 million project to replace approximately 1.3km of water mains in Stourton on 20 October, to improve the resilience and reliability of the area’s network.
The work is part of Yorkshire Water’s £406m investment to replace more than 1,000km of water mains across the region over the next five years.
In Leeds, over 30km of mains will be replaced by April 2026 – with more to come during the course of the AMP8 2025- 30 investment period. Projects are underway in Methley, Rawdon and Seacroft, and one project, in Harewood, is already complete.
Victoria Corbett, project manager at Yorkshire Water, said:
“Replacing the mains in Stourton will improve reliability of drinking water supply, reduce leakage and prevent water main bursts, helping us to deliver a better service for our customers in the area.”
Contract partners OCU Group will complete the work in three phases. Phase one will begin on 20 October, phase two of the project will begin in the New Year, followed by hase three which is set to commence in spring 2026.
