Southend Lead Replacement

Project overview

Essex & Suffolk Water is working on certain roads within Southend, renewing our pipework and replacing old water supply pipes, made of lead.

We’re focusing on specific streets where homes are more likely to have older pipes, still made of lead. Using local infrastructure records and property age data, we’ve identified parts of Southend where these older pipes are likely to still be in use, and we will be gradually working our way through these areas.

📅 Start Date: August 2026

📅 Estimated End Date: December 2028
