Montgomery set for £800k water pipe upgrade

Hafren Dyfrdwy has said that it is investing around £800,000 to upgrade its water pipe network through Montgomery.

The six-month project will get underway on February 2, and is expected to run until Mid-July with 1km of pipes being replaced to provide, what the company hopes will be, a network that will serve the community “for generations to come”.

A drop-in event to help residents stay informed, understand traffic management plans, and receive support ahead of the upcoming work is set to go ahead this Monday at Montgomery Town Hall between 4pm-7pm.

Catherine Webb, Community Communications Officer, at Hafren Dyfrdwy, said: “We’re committed to ensuring Montgomery has a water network that’s fit for the future. This investment is a significant step towards improving the resilience and reliability of the water supply for our customers, not just for today but for generations to come.

“By replacing 1km of pipes, we’re reducing the risk of leaks and interruptions, helping to safeguard the resource for the community.

“We understand that work of this scale can cause some disruption, which is why we’re hosting a drop-in session to give residents the chance to speak directly with our team, ask questions, and share any concerns.

“Our goal is to keep everyone informed and supported throughout the project, and we really value the input of the local community as we deliver these essential improvements.”

Customers are advised that all businesses will remain open throughout the duration of the works. Access for residents will be maintained wherever possible. The company said there may be short periods when vehicle access is restricted while works take place directly outside properties; residents will be notified in advance.

Any retail businesses that experience a loss of sales income as a result of the works are encouraged to contact the Business Loss Team for guidance by emailing BusinessLoss@hdcymru.co.uk.
