Emergency sewer works – Albert Park

South East Water is continuing complex emergency pipe works near the intersection of Kerferd Rd and Danks St in Albert Park.  

Crews are investigating the cause of the 1.5 metre deep subsidence linked to our sewer pipe and will undertake repairs and reinstate the road as soon as possible.

We’re currently backfilling the area to make it safe. This will fix the subsidence while we continue investigations and plan repair works.

Our sewer pipe is located 7 metres deep and below the groundwater table, which is making the works more complex.

We’re continuing to work with Melbourne Water and update City of Port Phillip as we plan the safest and quickest repairs.

There’s no impact to customer water or sewerage services.

Customers might see or hear us around while we complete these important works through the day and night over the next couple of days. 

These are the kinds of things customers might notice while we work

• More trucks in the area and surrounding streets.
• Noise from machinery, like pumps and beepers when trucks reverse.
• A change in normal traffic flow on local streets.

Our traffic management team will be around to make sure people, bikes and cars can move around safely.

We’re sorry for the traffic disruption and thank the community for their patience. Our crews are working as quickly as possible and will leave the area as we found it. 

For more information customers can call our 24‑hour Faults and Emergencies team on 13 28 12.
