WELSH Water is investing £3.7m in a scheme to combat flooding in Cardigan – but town councillors are keen to take more practical steps to help beleaguered residents in the short term. A new sewer pipe, pumping station and kiosk at Morgan Street will look to reduce the risk of flooding that has affected many properties in the Gloster Row/St Mary Street/Church Street area of the town. A Welsh Water spokesperson said: “We are planning to invest £3.7 million to reduce the risk of sewer flooding in Cardigan town. “This work, subject to approval, will involve installing a new sewer pipe, pumping station, kiosk and overflow. We hope this work will begin later in 2021 and expect it to take around 10 months to complete.
