WATER engineers are set to begin a £400,000 project next week to replace more than a mile of water pipe which date back to the Victorian era.

Yorkshire Water said the ageing copper main in Maltby, near Rotherham, has become prone to bursting, leaving water discoloured.

The work will begin next Wednesday, and will affect the A631, Rotherham Road, between Warwick Road and Blyth Road.
