⚠️ Gas Supply Update – Kingsbridge, Devon

Our teams worked late into the night continuing efforts to restore gas supplies to customers impacted by the damage to our gas main.

This morning, engineers are already out in Kingsbridge, working through the remaining properties to restore supplies.

In Salcombe, commissioning of the gas main last night was successful, and our teams are also already in the area beginning the process of restoring supplies.


❗Please make every effort to be at your property today—this will greatly help speed up the process of getting homes back on gas.

We truly appreciate the support and cooperation shown by the community as we work to resolve the situation.

Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Allowance

Targeted support for the most vulnerable

Between April 2021 and March 2026, we have £25.8m to invest on projects which can support customers in vulnerable situations and raise awareness of the dangers of carbon monoxide.

It’s called the Vulnerability and Carbon Monoxide Allowance (VCMA), and we can invest 75% of the money on projects in our network area, while 25% will be invested on collaborative projects with the other gas networks in England and Scotland.

If you have a project that you think we should take up, either by ourselves or collaboratively with other gas networks, then click the button below. If you have any questions about the VCMA funding, or would like a call back to discuss, please email us at VCMA@wwutilities.co.uk.
