The scheme in Chippenham is being carried out by Wessex Water to reduce the flood risk to homes and protect the River Avon, which will also involve putting in around 500m of other sewage pipelines. The water company's project manager, Paul Delves, said the work will mean the network can better cope with "the arrival of large volumes of water in a short space of time, such as during a heavy storm".The tank at land off Long Close will be 10m deep and will automatically be able to handle storm overflows.
Black Cross will close between junctions with Long Close and London Road, from 26 August to 20 SeptemberA play area next to the site of the new storage tank will also be closed while the project is in progress.
