Essex and Suffolk Water are carrying out some Groundwater source investigation works near to Holton Village. These investigation works, involving drilling and testing of a new Groundwater Borehole, are within the field we already own off of Bungay Road. This essential investigatory works will help to inform our future investment and any further work we may carry out on the water supply network. This will help ensure that our existing water supply network remains resilient in the future and that we continue to supply our existing customers in the area with great tasting tap water.
There is a small number of FAQ’s which get added for every scheme. Using your knowledge of the project and information from your customer letter, are there more FAQ’s you’d like added to help offset potential customer contacts?
