A £1 million water mains upgrade is underway to improve supply and reduce leaks.
Yorkshire Water is delivering the project in the villages of Sessay and Hutton Sessay, near Thirsk, to help prevent bursts and ensure a more reliable supply.
Contract partner United Infrastructure will be replacing the mains at the junction of Islebeck Lane and the south side of Sandy Lane, on Low Lane, and in private fields.
The work is part of a wider investment in North Yorkshire, with recent schemes completed in Grassington, Bedale, Settle, Sutton, Hauxwell to Hunton, and Thirn to Thornton.
Nichola Fairbairn, project manager at Yorkshire Water, said: "This project will enable us to better deliver quality and reliable service to our customers, and we’ll do our very best to keep disruption to a minimum whilst we complete the work.
"It’s one of many mains replacement schemes we’re currently delivering across North Yorkshire, with others underway in Yedingham, North Cowton and East Cowton."
Yorkshire Water is investing £406 million to upgrade its clean water mains network by 2030, aiming to replace 1,000km of pipework.
It is now over a quarter of the way through the programme, having replaced over 275km of main.
The improvements are part of Yorkshire Water’s £8.3bn investment into improving infrastructure, customer experience, and its environmental impact.
