WALES & West Utilities will shortly start work to upgrade part of the gas network in St. Clears.
The £300,000 investment work, which starts on 4 September, is essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations to come. It involves upgrading gas pipes in the Station Road area of the town and, barring any engineering difficulties, it will finish in March next year.
Wales & West Utilities has worked closely with Carmarthenshire County Council to plan the scheme and it has been agreed that traffic management will be used as required and motorists should allow sufficient travel time.
Wales & West Utilities Adam Smith is managing this gas pipe upgrade work. He 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 Carmarthenshire. 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.
“We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future. We’ll have a team of gas engineers on site throughout the project to make sure our work is completed as safely and as quickly as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum.
“This work is 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.”
