SRA Annual Report 2022-23: Asset upgrades at frequently jetted sites
Since 2016, the SRA has paid for more drain jetting at many places, 132 in 2022-23. Some drains have had to be jetted many times over the years, which indicates intrinsic problems it makes sense to fix.
Records show that Charlton Hill in North Cheriton parish has been jetted five times since 2014.
Drainage improvements were therefore made here by Somerset County Council’s Highways Department, as a partner in the SRA, using Milestone as contractors.
Works included building a pond outfall, installing two precast concrete circular chambers, removing an old gully and fitting a new one.
