What we are doing

To allow for the construction of the new railway and to continue to ensure a safe and reliable water supply, South Staffs Water will be commencing work on the diversion of a water main in October 2022.

South Staffs Water will be carrying out the diversion of two existing water mains.

All works will be undertaken within the carriageway of Lichfield Road, Whittington near the junction of Marsh Lane, Whittington. In order to carry out the work safely, a road closure will be in place for the duration of the works.

The work is planned to start on 31 October 2022 and is expected to last until 2 December 2022.  All the works will be undertaken between the hours of 8.00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday and 8.00am and 1.00pm Saturday. The majority of vehicles being used for these works will be Transit van size work vehicles, with some machinery being delivered to site using Large Goods Vehicles. We do not anticipate the level of these traffic movements will have any significant impact on the local road network. The below plan shows the extent and position of the road closure and diversion route. The site location will be Lichfield Road, Whittington, WS14 9LA and will be approx. 150m long solely within Lichfield Road We have designed our works to avoid disruption to the water supplies of our customers.
