Severn Trent have launched their Green Recovery Programme. Green Recovery is a range of exciting projects that will run up to March 2025, updating their water networks.
One of the things they’re doing right now across Coventry is upgrading customers’ old water supply pipes – at no cost.
Your supply pipe links your home to Severn Trent's water mains. Older pipes have a higher risk of leaks. Your pipes might even be made from lead – especially if your home was built before 1970. Or you might find you're sharing a supply with neighbours.
