Saving 'Every Drip' – Priddy water main renovation

Our brand-new leak free water main supplying the village of Priddy, will save water and last for another hundred years or so.

Priddy Water Main

In September 2023 work began to replace the old leaky water main that supplies the Village of Priddy in the Mendip Hills.

The existing pipeline was over 70 years old and was losing a substantial amount of water to leaks. Replacing it with a brand-new system will save water and money, and future proof the supply for our customers in the area.

Digging up 18 km of pipework through beautiful Somerset countryside, some of which is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, takes a huge amount of planning to minimise disruption and damage to the environment.
