A PIPE needed to repair Belle Greve pumping station is on its way.
Public Services yesterday announced that the length and associated fittings are expected to arrive on Saturday.
‘Hopefully by the end of next week we should be back up and running,’ said minister Bernard Flouquet.
Preparatory work is being carried out in the meantime to ensure that the new pipe, which is being shipped from Portsmouth, can be put in place as soon as possible, he said.
