Wales & West Utilities has completed its work to upgrade gas pipes in St. Clears.

The £300,000 investment work, which started in September, was essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations to come. It involved upgrading gas pipes in the Station Road area of the town and Wales & West Utilities worked closely with Carmarthenshire County Council to plan the scheme.

Wales & West Utilities Adam Smith managed this work. He said:

“We’re happy to have finished this work and want to thank everyone who lives and works in the area for bearing with us while we completed this essential 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 St. Clears. 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.

“This work was 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.”

Wales & West Utilities, the gas emergency and pipeline service, brings energy to 7.5m people across the south west of England and Wales.
