Previous Update
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Daniel Osborne, and I am the Project Manager for Essex and Suffolk Water. I will be overseeing this project until its completion.
From 17 February 2025 to 30 May 2025, we will be conducting borehole drilling near our existing borehole, located on land we own off Bungay Road, as shown on the overview page map. This work includes the installation of new casing to facilitate testing for potential future groundwater extraction.
These investigative activities will be carried out by our delivery partner, G Stow PLC.
Given the location of the work, we do not anticipate major disruption. However, you may notice an increase in traffic entering and exiting the site, along with some construction noise. Additionally, you may see higher water levels in the ditches around the site, as we discharge clean water during testing. We will make every effort to minimize any inconvenience.
To ensure the safety of both the public and our team, a temporary road closure will be implemented on Bungay Road, as shown on the attached Site Plan and Traffic Arrangements This closure will take place from 17 to 19 February 2025 and will be clearly signposted in advance. Access to your property will remain, but you will only be able to approach from one direction.
Please note, your water and sewerage services will not be impacted by this work.
As the project progresses, I will keep you updated on our plans and any developments through this portal. I welcome your feedback and am eager to hear your thoughts. The team will post regular updates, and if you have any questions or require additional assistance, please use the 'Contact Us' button at the top of this page or post on this feed.
