Wales & West Utilities says it has completed essential work to upgrade the gas pipes in Limpley Stoke on time and to plan.
The £190,000 investment, which started at the beginning of the year, involved upgrading more than 900 metres of pipes in the Crowe Hill area and members of the local community were invited to a drop-in session ahead of the works starting.
Wales & West Utilities liaised with Wiltshire Council, Bath & North East Somerset Council and Highways England to plan the work and traffic management was in place throughout.
Simon Lee, from Wales & West Utilities, managed the work and said: “While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Limpley Stoke.
“Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
“This work was essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane so we can all play our part in a green future.”
