Due to the location of the pipes, some traffic management measures will be put in place but Severn Trent says access to homes, shops and businesses will be maintained.
Shannon Currall at Severn Trent said: “While our network continues to serve our customers and communities as time passes and our pipes age, which make them more prone to water quality or supply issues.
"Our pipe renewal programme prioritises those areas where we know there have been issues in the past, to make sure that everyone has a more resilient and reliable supply of water both now and into the future.”

Shannon added: “Drop-in sessions are a great opportunity for residents to come and learn more about the scheme and ask us any questions in person. It would be fantastic to meet as many local people as possible ahead of the works starting, so that we can chat through the benefits that the scheme will bring to the community.”
Works will start on April 10 and are expected to be completed by the end of July.
