Investigative works in your area from April 2026

 

You might not notice a lot of the work we do because most of it is beneath your feet. Every day, we’re maintaining and upgrading the pipes and pumps that keep water flowing.

With some upcoming works in Tuckers Road, Clyde North you might see us or our industry partner Beca, Fulton Hogan & Interflow (BFHI)  around. 

Here’s what to expect while we get the job done.

What we're doing

This project is to install approximately 1.5km of water pipeline from Brunt Road to Stephens Road, Officer to meet the growing demands of the area. 

As part of this project, we’re doing investigative works to help us progress the design. These investigative works include: 

  • Geotechnical studies
  • Service locating to identify and locate all underground services that may interact with the pipeline alignment. 

You shouldn’t notice any change to your water or sewer services while we work.

When it's happening

We're in the planning phase of this project. During this phase we’re planning to undertake investigative works from April 23 for approximately two weeks (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 while we work:

  • Noise and dust from construction machinery 
  • More trucks on the streets around you.
  • Our traffic management team will be around to make sure people, bikes and cars can move around safely.
