Eye to Occold Water Pipe Replacement

The Eye to Occold Water Pipe Replacement project has been selected as a priority upgrade within the Suffolk area, helping to strengthen and future proof the local water network.

This section of the network has experienced a number of bursts, and our assessments show that the existing pipework is reaching the end of its service life. By replacing it now, we can help improve reliability and reduce the likelihood of future disruptions for customers.

We’ve carefully developed and refined the design through three iterations to minimise impact on the B1077 and surrounding area as much as possible.
