Main road opens after water pipework installation

A main road in Guernsey has reopened after 12 weeks of works.

Rectory Hill had been closed since 4 March while Guernsey Water installed 1,312ft (400m) of pipework as part of the development of a new main ring for the northern parishes.

Guernsey Water said the ring main acted like a motorway for the water network.

The next phase of the work, which involves installing an additional 1,640ft (500m) of pipework, has already begun on Route de L'Eglise, in Castel, and is due to be finished next year, the water company said.
