Anglian Water is seeking views on a planned pipeline that will eventually extend from Lincoln to Grantham.

The water supplier is staging its consultation online, due to the pandemic, promising the same information as if it was holding it in a village hall or similar.

The consultation started earlier this month and runs until July 20. Staff are also available for 'live chat' tomorrow.

Anglian Water says the pipeline forms part of a 25-year management plan which aims to cope with a growing population, climate change, and related issues in a region already classed as 'water stressed.'

The company website continued: "A new pipeline running from south of Lincoln to Ancaster forms part of our plans. The 25km pipe from Waddington to Ancaster will increase reliability and reduce the number of homes and businesses in the area which currently rely on a single pipeline for all their water needs.

"The pipeline was originally part of a bigger scheme called the Lincoln to Grantham pipeline. Following a review, we decided to divide up the original scheme and bring this section into service earlier.

"The revised section will eventually join up with future pipelines to connect new supplies from the north of Lincoln with communities around Grantham."
