AFTER more than a century in its Town offices, Guernsey Water is looking to leave the site within two years.

The sale will be part of a streamlining project to base all staff at a depot at St Andrew’s, permission for which is being sought from Environment.

Water services director Andrew Redhead said it was time for the utility to move from the South Esplanade.

‘We have identified that we could save about £10,000 a year if we have all our offices on one site at St Andrew’s,’ he said.

‘Also staff are often out of the office. About 30 people are based here, but often there is only a dozen occupying the space.’

The four-storey building was originally two terraced homes that formed part of Jubilee Terrace.

The Guernsey Water Company first leased 2, Jubilee Terrace in 1887, before buying the site in 1938. In 1949 the house next door was also purchased.
