Important details
What we’re doing
This project will include a new (upgrade) water pipe and a renewal of an existing water pipe, so you can always rely on us when you need a drink, a bath or to wash the clothes or dishes.
You shouldn’t notice any change to your water or sewerage services while we work.
If we need to interrupt your water supply, don’t worry, we’ll notify you in advance to organise connection to a temporary supply.
When it's happening
We’re planning to start work from mid October and will take approximately 12 months to complete both projects (depending on the weather).
You can expect us to work Monday to Friday between 7 am and 6 pm. On the odd occasion, we might need to work at other times for safety, technical or permit reasons.
What might impact you
We’ll do our best to keep impacts to a minimum, however these are the kinds of things you might notice when constrcution begins:
- Machinery on site.
- Noise and dust from construction machinery
- More trucks and vehicles on the streets around you
- Traffic control around our work zones including detours, please follow directions
- Fewer car parks around our work zones
Our traffic management team will be around to make sure people, bikes and cars can move around safely. You'll continue to have access to footpaths and businesses in the area.
If we need to impact access to your driveway, we’ll be in touch in advance. We’ll do our best to keep impacts to a minimum.
