Southend East - Lead Pipe Replacement Scheme
In February 2019 we’ll be starting our lead pipe replacement programme in the Westbury Road area of Southend-on-Sea. We’ll be replacing the lead communication pipe (the pipe which goes from the water main in the street to the boundary of your property) with a new plastic pipe. For the first time we are offering to replace customers’ lead supply pipes. This is the pipe which is owned by customers or their landlord and goes from the boundary of their property, into their home. This is completely FREE for those customers within the selected area for a limited time only. Phone our lead line to make an appointment with one of our site surveyors 01268 664118.
Meet the Team
Essex & Suffolk Water would like to introduce you to some of the people working on the Southend East Lead Replacement scheme, supporting our customers to become lead free.
Our site surveyor will arrive at the time of your pre-booked appointment and will introduce themselves showing their identification badge.
