What we are doing
We have been advised by Affinity Water that they will shortly be undertaking some water quality flushing works which will include construction of a new watermain from their Moorhall Road Pumping Station into the Grand Union Canal.
What Affinity Water are doing
Affinity Water advise HS2 that they will be constructing a new water main for discharging clean ground water into the Grand Union Canal by agreement with the Moorhall Farm landowner and Canal and River Trust.
All the works will be within the current HS2 Moorhall Road compound.
Access for their works will be through the existing Affinity Water Moorhall Pumping Station and Moorhall Farm entrances off the Moorhall Road.
How will this affect me
The works will be in a construction area that will have no impact on the local community, however there will be a towpath diversion over the temporary water main for a period of approximately 4-weeks along a section of the Grand Union Canal. The towpath will be closed towards the end of March and we will advise you of the dates nearer the time.
Affinity Water advise that their normal working hours will be Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturdays 8am to 1pm.
Their contractors may also be on site for set-up and shutdown either side of these times, you may see security checks outside of these hours.
