Helen Purdy from Severn Trent said: “We’re investing £1.6 million to improve the service we offer in Teversal, after listening to what matters most to our customers.
"When we’re finished, this rural community will have a reliable and efficient sewer network, giving them peace of mind.
“It’s also great news for the environment because waste will be able to flow into a nearby treatment works, where it’ll be treated and cleaned faster and more efficiently.”
