About the project
We're replacing ageing water mains in the Penmarth, Carnkie and Hendra areas as part of our Cornwall Water Mains Project. The work will renew older sections of the network and help provide a more reliable water supply for local communities.
What to expect
We'll use a range of installation methods, including directional drilling, pipe bursting and open-cut trenching. Temporary traffic management, including road closures and diversion routes, may be required at some stages of the work. We'll work to minimise disruption wherever possible and thank customers for their patience.
Project timeline
The scheme is planned to start in winter 2026 and is expected to take around six months to complete. If you have any questions about the scheme, please contact our Customer Liaison Officer, Jess Veacock, or our Customer Services Helpline on 0344 346 2020.
