Watergate Bay - Collapsed Sewer

Drivers heading to Watergate Bay in North Cornwall this weekend may experience delays due to a collapsed sewer on the main approach road.

The sewer collapse was discovered on Friday morning and South West Water is now using an overland pump to divert sewage flows. The road will remain open throughout the Bank Holiday Weekend for visitors with traffic lights around the affected area. A full repair to the sewer will be done early next week

South West Water would like to apologise to road users for any inconvenience this incident might cause.
