NEW recruits have begun work ahead of a major water infrastructure project in Staffordshire.

Severn Trent will lay 43 miles of pipework in the county as part of a wider £415million scheme.

The project, which will see 440 new jobs created, is described as one of the largest in the UK water network for more than a decade.

The new pipes, made from modern materials are expected to last around 100 years.

Paul Rothera, mains renewal project director, said:

> “This is a huge project – one of the largest of its kind in 10 years – that will provide massive benefits for customers for generations to come.   
>  
> “To do this, we are assembling a brand-new team for this to go ahea,with some who have been at the company for many years, but also those who are new to the industry.   
>  
> “We are pleased to be creating so many new jobs and providing new starters with a chance to work on such a major project for the region and look forward to welcoming them all to the Severn Trent family over the next few weeks and months.”
