Six months of work on a £1.1 million investment to install 5km of new water main between two Lincolnshire villages will begin next week.
Anglian Water will begin the scheme for the new pipeline between Holton-Le_-Clay and North Thoresby from Monday, February 18 to assist in securing supplies for future growth in the area.
It will strengthen the existing network to enable Anglian Water to maintain the supply of high quality drinking water to over 3,000 customers.
The scheme is expected to last for six months finishing in the summer of 2019.
Over 4km of new water main will be installed in fields alongside the A16 with no disruption to the highway itself.
Eight week lane closure
A lane closure and temporary traffic lights will be in pace at the junction with Tetney Lane in Holton-Le-Clay which will last for approximately eight weeks.
This is in order to connect the new main to the existing network located in Pinfold Lane.
Work will then continue with temporary traffic lights along Silver Street for the following four weeks. This will then be completed in Louth Road for the final six weeks.
These works will follow on from one another in a bid to minimise disruption to local residents and road users as much as possible.
Access to residents, businesses, schools and the emergency services will be maintained at all times. However, several bus stops along the route will be temporarily relocated approximately 20-30m from their original location throughout the duration of the works.
Anglian Water will be working on the site between 7.30am-5.30pm (Monday to Friday) in order to minimise noise disruption to the local area.
A spokesperson for Anglian Water Nicola Harvey said: “Our region is one of the fastest growing in the UK, and the development between Holton-Le-Clay and North Thoresby is essential to ensure a resilient water supply for the future, keeping taps running in the area for years to come.
“We are sorry for any inconvenience these works may cause and we will do our best to minimise disruption wherever possible. We would also like to thank our customers for their patience and co-operation while these essential works are completed.”

Leader of Lincolnshire County Council Martin Hill said his party retaining control of the authority was “a resounding success” for the Conservatives.
The Tory group passed the 36 seat mark, giving them overall control of the council following the local elections on May 6.
Councillor Hill said: “This means we have a manifesto which we will then deliver for the public of Lincolnshire and we have a stable situation of the county council and can continue the running of it as a Conservative council.
“Thank you for giving the Conservatives once again a resounding thumbs up, we will work hard for you and take the lessons learned so far.”
He promised to move forward on tackling potholes and fly-tipping as well as campaigning for more funding for the authority.

A Year 9 student at Cleethorpes Academy has tested positive for coronavirus, resulting in 28 pupils now self-isolating as a precaution.
Principal Mrs Janice Hornby sent a letter to parents/carers on Thursday, May 6 and said the school is continuing to monitor the situation and is working closely with Public Health England.
The students who are self-isolating will continue remote learning at home for 10 days.
The school remains open to other students who should continue to attend if they remain well.
Janice Hornby, Cleethorpes Academy Principal, said: “We want to reassure parents that we have followed advice from Public Health England and the DfE in responding to this matter immediately.
“My senior and pastoral leaders work quickly to identify all close contacts and telephone every family to explain the requirement to self-isolate. Students are isolated in school until we contact the family.
“All students who are required to isolate will return to remote learning until we can welcome them back into school.
“We have continued to follow national public health guidance around preventing the spread of coronavirus in school. Social distancing, frequent hand washing, wearing of face coverings and regular cleaning is being rigorously practised right across the Academy, and we have robust risk assessment processes in place.
“I urge all staff and students to remain vigilant at all times and to continue to follow the guidelines to ensure that we can keep each other as safe as possible. We wish our student a very speedy recovery.”
Cleethorpes Academy is currently the only school within the Tollbar Multi Academy Trust with a case of coronavirus.
