GENERAL PROJECT

Layer to Langford Pipeline

To ensure Essex & Suffolk Water (ESW) can continue to provide a reliable and resilient supply of water to its 1.5 million customers in Essex, it is looking to improve the raw water transfer capacity between its operating areas. To achieve this ESW are intending to construct a pipeline to transfer raw water from Layer-de-la-Haye Water Treatment Works to the existing storage reservoir at Langford Water Treatment Works.

Update by Daniel Wilson

Progress on our project to install the Layer to Langford Pipeline has been very good over these past few weeks and we have now laid 5km of the 20km route. This has enabled us to begin reinstating land and installing post construction land drainage in some areas to ensure the ground is returned to land owners is as good as, or in an improved condition compared to when we mobilised to site. In autumn of this year we will also begin to replant any hedgerows we removed to ensure the biodiversity value along the route is maintained.

We have now received the majority of the pipework required for the project and any large deliveries our communities may have observed will become a thing of the past.
