A222 water pipe replacement
We're upgrading 1.5km of clean water pipes on Chislehurst Road, Elm Road and Station Road in Sidcup.
The new, long-lasting plastic pipes are much stronger than the cast-iron pipes they replace. This reduces the risk of leaks and burst pipes, providing you with a more reliable water supply. By reducing leakage, we'll also need to take less water from the environment.
We're sorry for the disruption this essential work will cause. We'll do everything we can to keep this to a minimum.
