Internal county council note:

Three Valleys Water will commence water main repair works at the above
location on Sunday 8th November that are likely to continue through until
the evening of Tuesday 10th November. The works will not commence until
after 1pm on Sunday thus avoiding the Remembrance Day Parade on St Peters
Street.
The works have been scheduled this way to avoid both Market days (Wednesday
and Saturday).

The repair works will require the use of temporary two way signals that
will be operational 24hrs a day. In order to reduce congestion these will
be manually controlled.

The works are not the usual simple repair job and require the shut down and
redistribution of major parts of the water network in St Albans City
Centre. The pipe that is leaking is attached to an 12″ Imperial Cast Iron
water main, so any repair will involve the custom manufacture of a T piece
that will fit a metric sized connection pipe. As a result of the need for
the custom manufacture of the pipe, there will be periods within the three
days where it will appear that no work is being carried out.

This job is likely to lead to a number of calls and increased congestion in
the area but has been planned to hopefully reduce its potential impact.

If you have any further queries please feel free to contact me.
