We are completing repairs to a complex area of our network in the TR27 4 area at East Quay Pumping Station. We will be using tankers to transport flows whilst we carry out the repair. Some customers may see an increase in tankering activity, noise and lighting in the area overnight. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and we are working hard to finish the work as quickly as possible.
