PFR Installations Commencing
🏠 Property Flood Resilience Installations Begin Next Week 🏠
We are pleased to confirm that following the completion of over 50 works inspection surveys, to date, by our appointed contractor Watertight International, installations of the Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures will begin in properties next week.
Households in our PFR scheme already surveyed will be contacted directly by Watertight to confirm installation dates, while those awaiting a survey will be contacted shortly to arrange one.
We know many of you have been waiting patiently, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding while we finalised the necessary procurement and contractual requirements for this complex programme of works.
Our team is now working through the installation schedule as quickly and carefully as possible to ensure every property within the scheme moves smoothly through to completion. Thank you again for your ongoing support as this next stage gets underway.
If you have any questions, email our project team at RAIN@westnorthants.gov.uk.
