Gas upgrade work to begin in Carmarthen, local community invited to drop-in session

WALES & West Utilities will shortly begin essential work to upgrade the gas pipes in the King Street area of Carmarthen and is inviting members of the local community to hear about the plans.

The work, which is essential to ensure the gas is kept flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people safe and warm for generations to come, is due to start on the 6 January 2025 and, barring any engineering difficulties, it will finish during May next year.

Members of the local community are invited to the drop-in session which will take place on 25 November between 2 – 7pm at Carmarthen Learning Centre, Furnace Road, Carmarthen, SA31 1EU. Here they’ll be able to view plans and direct any questions to members of the project team.

Wales & West Utilities is liaising with Carmarthenshire County Council to plan the work and traffic management will be required. Further details will be shared in due course.

Wales & West Utilities Adam Smith is managing this gas pipe upgrade work. He said: “We’d like to see members of the local community at our drop-in event so that we can share plans of the work.

“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the area. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.

“We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future.

“We’ll have a team of gas engineers on site throughout the project to make sure our work is completed as safely and as quickly as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum.

“This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.”
