Enlarging the drains in Church Lane, Colden Common. An underground storage tank holding nearly 1 million litres of water is to be built 1Km behind photographer, together with equipment to pump its contents to Eastleigh Chickenhall Wastewater Treatment Works. The tank will take surface water flowing into drains in Church Lane and Spring Lane, Colden Common, and hold it until a storm has passed. The drainage pipes below those roads, which have long been inadequate, are being upgraded by the laying of bigger plastic pipes on top of the old pipes. The work is being carried out by contractor 4Delivery on behalf of Southern Water.
