Low Water Pressure - Further Updates

Anglian Water visited Councillor Graham Pearson 27th June, to provide an update on the low water pressure in East Keal.  Anglian Water had identified an area at Marden Hill to investigate but it has not yet resulted in fixing the problem.  They are going to continue investigating further back along the water route as they suspect the leak affecting East Keal for so long may be occurring elsewhere.  Anglian Water are also investigating potential leaks at Fen Lane and Church Lane and will keep the East Keal Parish Council updated and EKPC will continue to update the EKPC webpage with new information.

UPDATE 03072024. Anglian Water have updated Cllr Pearson at EKPC that their investigations are currently focussing on Fen Lane at the site of the recent roadworks and are on site today and tomorrow working to resolve the problem.

UPDATE 04072024 Anglian Water have updated that they have completed the repair at Fen Lane and water pressure tests at various locations have been fine. Anglian Water have said they will continue to monitor in the area for any further issues.  They update that they have identified another small leak at Church Lane on 30th June that is scheduled for repair.  Progress can be seen on their website via the below link.

UPDATE 08072024.  The Church Lane leak has got much worse.  A video and photos sent to Anglian Water by EKPC were reviewed by their Management.   They have updated that the previous scheduled repair for 9th July will be when it is repaired as all teams are out dealing with other bursts that risk flooding properties. 

After further persuasion Anglian Water have attended late evening of 8th July to assess the leak and will send an update.

The Church Lane leak was fixed on 8th July.

There is a further slow water leak reported outside Saracens Head, Main Road. 

Anglian Water have attended and work has been allocated out.  EKPC have requested progress updates and been informed that repairs to commenced on 25th July and finished by 31st July. There will be traffic lights managing the safety of the work area causing some delays.

A further leak reported outside homes on the A16 opposite the entrance to Fen Lane are currently being repaired by Anglian Water, who advise that they had to prioritise other leaks that may cause flooding to homes and businesses before they could deal with this one. There will be delays caused by traffic lights protecting the workers.
