Clancy Docwra wins £40m Southern Water Contract

Clancy Docwra has signed a £40m contract for clean and waste water utilities services with Southern Water - The Utility Services Contract (USC).

The clean water area will consist of Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, with the wastewater element of the contract covering the Isle of Wight.

Types of works involved within the contract include: repairs and maintenance, service/main laying, reinstatement and 24/7 emergency response.

The three-year contract, with a two-year option, is due to start on 1 June.
