Burst sewer - Cowes - Isle of Wight

UPDATE June 2
We are continuing to repair a burst pressurised sewer at Terminus Road, Cowes caused by a blockage of unflushable materials.

To prevent incidents like this happening in future we are working on a substantial longer-term repair which means we will remain on site over the weekend.

We will update local residents when this is finished.

We’re very sorry for the continued disruption this is causing residents, businesses and visitors to the Isle of Wight.

UPDATE May 31
We are repairing a burst pressurised sewer at Terminus Road, Cowes caused by a blockage of unflushable materials.

During these repairs we discovered that the pipe needs relining and further repairs to prevent incidents like this happening in future, which means we will be on site for longer than we had initially anticipated.

We will carry out further surveys to assess how long we anticipate this work will take, but we expect this to be at least a number of days.

We’re very sorry for the disruption this is causing residents, businesses and visitors to the Isle of Wight.
