Alex Spivey, project manager at Yorkshire Water, said that the company would be working hard to minimise disruption and thanked customers for their patience.
He said: “Lining the pipework is less disruptive than laying new pipes.
“This is an important part of our target to reduce leakage by 50% by 2050, which is right for our customers and right for the environment.”
The project will be carried out by Yorkshire Water’s partner, Morrison Water Services (MWS) and may include some weekend working to make sure the work is completed on time.
Yorkshire Water said it was investing almost £800m across the region up to April 2025, including £8.9m at its Ingbirchworth and Hoylandswaine wastewater treatment sites in Barnsley and £2m in its sewerage network in Wentworth village, near Rotherham.
