Wales & West Utilities has finished essential work to upgrade gas pipes in the Station Road area of Crewkerne.
The work, which began in April, was essential to keep the gas flowing safely and reliably to local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations to come and involved upgrading nearly 1,500 metres of gas pipes.
As part of the work Wales & West Utilities worked with Somerset Council and it was agreed that traffic management would be in place throughout.
Wales & West Utilities Roxanne Whittaker managed the work and said:
We would like to thank the local community for bearing with us whilst we worked hard to complete this work to upgrade part of the gas network.
While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the wider Somerset area. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
This work was essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.
