Surface Water Drainage Repairs Oct 2020

by S17Editor

CPS drainage solutions have been on the estate relining some of our surface water drains.

All the work is done under a large tent as they are using UV light

The knitted felt liner is impregnated with vinyl ester resin. By filling one end with resin it is evenly distributed by pulling the liner through gauging rollers, under a vacuum.

The liner is everted into the pipe by feeding it through a compressed air gun. This means the resin is now on the outside of the liner.

The resin is cured by pulling a UV light head through the pipe at a controlled speed.

These liners have a 25 year guarantee but hopefully they should last much longer.

Severn Trent Water

by S17Editor

All residents of TCRCL, check your account with Severn Trent as you may be able to save some money.

If you are paying for removal of surface water you need to contact Severn trent and inform them that all the surface water runs into privately maintained drains that run into ditches, soakaways and a watercourse. Once they have agreed this you can then ask for a refund.

Additionally, a new item on Severn Trent invoices is ‘highway drainage’. Having checked with Severn Trent it does not matter where the highway drains to. Every household in Severn Trent area must pay it. Apparently, we have always paid this but it was hidden within the waste water payment.

If you manage to get this changed please let us know on info@trenchardclose.co.uk & we can update this post

All the relevant contact details can be found on Severn Trent webpage
