Our investment
We're installing approximately 3km of new water main in the Barley Lane area of Exeter to improve the resilience of the local water network and increase capacity for the future.
The new water main will help maintain reliable water supplies as demand increases across the area, supporting both existing customers and future development.
Benefits of the scheme
Once complete, the new water main will:
- Increase the capacity of the local water network.
- Improve the resilience of water supplies in the area.
- Help maintain reliable supplies as demand grows.
- Support future housing and development in Exeter.
What to expect during construction
Temporary traffic management will be needed at some locations along the route, and there may be periods of increased construction traffic and noise while work is carried out. We'll work to minimise disruption wherever possible and thank customers for their patience.
Project timeline
The scheme is planned to start on 11 January 2027 and is expected to be completed by 17 December 2027.
