Yaxley Mellis Road Water Pipe Upgrade

At Essex & Suffolk Water (ESW) we are working on a project at Mellis Road, Yaxley. The project involves the upgrade of the current water pipe. This is due to aging and to prevent future leaks & bursts.

We have planned to start the Mellis Road project on the 29th June, lasting approximately 16 weeks.

The work involves the installation of approximately 2.4km of 125mm water pipe. Some drilling will be required, so to minimise disruption particularly in sensitive areas, these activities will be scheduled during the school holidays to reduce impact.

Works on private land will be carried out separately from the main programme to help us deliver the work more efficiently and avoid extending the road closure.

Start Date: 29th June 2026

Estimated End Date: 16th October 2026

Partner: T4 Ltd

Investment Value: £400,000
