Water Pipe Cleaning - South East Water (7th Jul 2017 - 10:03:25) Work will soon be carried out to clean water mains in the Liphook area to safeguard the quality of drinking water. South East Water will carry out the programme from the week starting Monday 10 July as part of ongoing maintenance on the company’s underground mains. The process, known as flushing, involves directing water through the pipes quickly to draw sediment deposits – such as iron and manganese – out of the network. This is to remove naturally-occurring, harmless deposits which build up over time. While these naturally-occurring deposits are not harmful, they can cause temporary discoloured water. South East Water’s Distribution Manager Paul Mann said: “Flushing our water mains from the start to finish of our network – from our service reservoirs, which store fully treated drinking water, to the point at which it supplies our customers – is a very effective way of cleaning the inside of our water mains. “Once the water reaches its journey’s end, the flushed water containing these deposits is directed into the drains to be recycled. “We appreciate customers may have concerns about this water appearing to run to waste, but we only draw through our pipes as much as we need, and stop flushing once we can see the whole system is running crystal clear as usual. “During the flushing process customers may notice a reduction in water pressure, and possibly some discolouration, but this is temporary and can be solved by running the kitchen tap until the water runs clear.” The work will take place in the postcode sector GU30 7.

Re: Water Pipe Cleaning - JP (7th Jul 2017 - 15:56:12) Many of the water supply pipes in Liphook are old and clogged up so you should be pleased they are doing this despite having to run your tap for a little while to clear the line. You should end up with a better flow and cleaner water. My neighbour runs her garden sprinkler for at least 8 hours a day and that is what I call irresponsible and selfish but guess she has the money to pay for it as it keeps her weeds healthy as there is little grass.
