Kentisbeare mains replacement

Replacing ageing water mains in the Kentisbeare and Ashill areas to improve reliability and strengthen the local water network.

About the project

We're replacing ageing water mains in the Kentisbeare and Ashill areas as part of our East Devon Mains Replacement 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, slip lining and open-cut trenching, to complete the work. Some customers may experience temporary supply interruptions during specific stages of the project, and temporary traffic management or road closures may be required in some locations.

Project timeline

The scheme is planned to start in winter 2026 and is expected to take around nine 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.
