The High Street water mains upgrade is continuing over the
next two weeks in Renwick and means most residents may
experience lower water pressure than normal.
Operations
and Maintenance Engineer Stephen Rooney says the Council is
bringing the new bulk water main along High Street into
service over the next fortnight.
“The new main is being
installed and whilst we connect it up we have to re-direct
water in a different direction around the
town.”
“Residents are encouraged to conserve water
during this time and be patient whilst this work is
completed.”
Stephen says Marlborough Anniversary
weekend temperatures are forecast to reach 31C on Sunday and
30C on Monday, which is likely to encourage water
demand.
“If people can limit their use of water for
non-essential purposes such as washing the car or filling
the pool, and keep garden irrigation to a minimum, that will
make a difference.”
“Once demand goes over 40 litres
per second, everyone will notice a reduction in pressure.
This will only happen if there is high demand due to garden
irrigation.”
