Sedgewater and Ellerby Cross

1 to 4 September · Overnight, 22:00 to 05:00

We are cleaning the Sedgewater service reservoir overnight. You may hear pumps and notice lower pressure after 22:00.

22:00
Starts 1 September 2026
05:00
Expected to end 4 September 2026

Service reservoirs hold treated water before it reaches your tap, and we clean and inspect each one on a five-year cycle. Sedgewater is due, and we do the work overnight because demand is lowest then.

Between 22:00 and 05:00 from 1 to 4 September, homes in Sedgewater and Ellerby Cross may notice lower pressure. Water quality is not affected. You may hear tankers and pumps near the reservoir on Ellerby Lane, and we are sorry about the noise.

If you use water at night for medical equipment, tell us and we will deliver bottled water before the work starts.
