 We
put Mid Kent Water signs on all of our road works including
clearly shown contact details, this enables the public
to contact us directly with any queries and comments
about our road works.
The
use of temporary traffic lights
Where possible temporary traffic lights
are removed during rush hour periods. At other times
they are controlled as Directed by the Highways Authority
this may include manual control to assist the flow of
traffic.
Minimising
traffic disruption
Section
74 of the New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 requires
an undertaker executing street works in a maintainable
highway to pay a charge to the highway authority where
(a) the duration of the works exceeds such period as
may be prescribed, and (b) the works are not completed
within a reasonable period.
At Mid Kent Water we have a planning
team to ensure that this does not occur whilst allowing
us to deal with the day to day emergencies and traffic
work associated with a water company.
