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 currently temporary lane closures to keep crews, motorists and pedestrians safe while we work below the surface.

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

We’re sorry for the traffic disruption and thank the community for their patience. Our crews are working as quickly as possible.

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