Crouch End pipe replacement

Drop-in session Tuesday 20 January 2026

We're upgrading more than 8km of ageing Victorian pipes in Crouch End, Haringey. This is to reduce leakage and burst pipes that can interrupt your water supplies.

The new plastic pipes we will lay are much stronger than the cast-iron pipes they replace. This £13m investment will help us continue to provide a reliable service now, and for future generations.

We're sorry for the disruption this essential work will cause. We'll do everything we can to keep this to a minimum. By renewing your pipes in a planned way now, we'll lessen the chance of sudden, disruptive bursts.
