Note received from county council

An inspection was carried out on Friday 18/7/14 and found Affinity Water had an emmergency road closure in place and works already in progress to repair a water leak, the road closure being required due to the position on the excavation being in the centre of the carriageway. Affinity Water was contacted by phone to highlight the site and request that the reinstatement and reopening of the street was given priority, as other streets in the vicinity already had closures in place.

It was also highlighted that heavy scarring of the carriageway caused during the works would need to be attended to. A follow up inspection has since been carried out and Affinity Water have been issued with defects relating to the heavy scarring still remaining on the carriageway and a depression with adjacent cracking around the new reinstatement. This defect will now be monitored and inspected under NRSWA.
