Lagness Road North Mundham | Traffic disruption
We are carrying out essential mainlaying works in Lagness Road, North Mundham near Chichester. We apologise for the delays that may be encountered during these works as we are required to install traffic lights for the safety of our workers and all members of the public.
Our aim is to keep disruption to a minimum, however, due to the volume of traffic on this busy section of road unfortunately there will be a natural delay of traffic whenever temporary traffic lights are required at this location. We have helped reduce the amount of traffic build-up by planning this work after peak summer times where additional holiday traffic would have affected the flow further. We work closely with the local Council regarding this.
We would like to apologise for the inconvenience this may cause and would advise longer pre-planning of journeys during this time. We are working extended hours reduce the timescale of the scheme and are manning the traffic lights during peak hours to reduce any delays.

Douglas Close Arundel | Off: 14/10/2024 09:00 | Planned maintenance
We will be undertaking essential maintenance work on the water distribution network which will mean customers' water supplies will be turned off for a maximum period of 7 hours on 14th October commencing at 09:00.
Prior to the water supply interruption, we suggest that you draw off and store sufficient tap water for your drinking needs over this period. If your property has a cold-water cistern, it should provide sufficient reserve for your normal sanitary requirements (i.e. lavatory flushing) if used sensibly. Central Heating systems should not be affected by the shutdown.
Slight discoloration of the water may occur when the supply is restored so we would recommend checking that the water is clear before using washing machines or other appliances. We would in any case advise that water using appliances (washing machines, dishwashers etc.) should NOT be used during the shutdown period.
If you do experience any discolouration of the water supply, this is normal following such events and poses no health risk to the water supply system. To address this, we would recommend you run your cold kitchen tap for 10 minutes or until clear. For further guidance about this, please refer to our water quality information page at portsmouthwater.co.uk/water-quality/
We apologise for any noise or inconvenience that our activities may cause you but we will endeavour to keep this to a minimum and thank you for your patience whilst we undertake these essential works.
If your water supply does not return to normal after we restore the supply, please contact us on 023 9247 7999. Our staff are available on this number 24 hrs a day to provide further advice or if necessary, arrange for a company representative or plumber to call. They will rectify any problem which is found to be due to this interruption to supply, free of charge.
