Gas repairs in Chippenham continue after a pipe was hit on Tuesday. Some homes still lack gas as repairs last several days.
Wales & West Utilities worked to fix it. They needed to restore gas to homes and businesses. Most places now have their gas back. However, some homes still don’t have gas. Engineers couldn’t get inside those properties.
They started fixing the damaged pipe too. This repair should last several days. Engineers will stay in the area. They will help people access their gas. The company is carefully managing the gas pressure. This helps ensure everyone has enough gas.
Martyn Pallant is a Network Service Manager. He said most properties now have gas. They left cards at homes they couldn’t enter. People can call to arrange a visit.
The pipe repair is complex and will take a few days to finish. Keeping gas flowing will be hard. The company must manage system pressure, and teams will quickly respond to any problems.
The pipe repair continues. Workers will be there over the weekend. A digger likely caused the damage. You can contact Wales & West Utilities with any questions. The phone number is 0800 912 29 99. You can also email them at enquiries@wwutilities.co.uk.
