The project, which started on Monday, September 15, is crucial to maintain a reliable gas supply to homes and businesses across the area. Wales & West Utilities has been in close collaboration with Somerset Council to plan the project. "While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of this community. Wales & West Utilities is keen to remain in contact with the community during the project. Wales & West Utilities delivers energy to over 7.5m people across Wales and the South West of England.
