BRIGG WATER MAIN REPLACEMENT ON THE COUNTY BRIDGE


Brigg Blog took this picture at the weekend, showing that work has started on the Brigg Bridge Street water main replacement project, involving taking out the old cast iron pipe on one side of the grade two listed County Bridge over the River Ancholme and installing a new one.
If anyone's in any doubt about why this work is necessary, we've included a few pictures showing the fountain that resulted from a leak in the pipe some months ago. They managed to patch that, but clearly the writing was on the wall for the old main and the only real alternative was a replacement.
