Frequently Asked Questions
South East Water manages a proactive infrastructure renewal program, which involves monitoring the condition of our water and sewerage networks and undertaking upgrade works as needed. The aim of this program is to deliver reliable water and sewerage services to our customers and community.
The extension of the water main will:
- Improve water service reliability
- Reduce potential property damage if the existing water main was to fail
- Reduce maintenance and repair costs of the water main
South East Water will provide notices of their intention to work in an area prior to the work commencing. If the works are deferred, we will send you another notification of the new proposed start date.
The new water main will be laid within select nature strips and grounds within Hallifax Street, Seaford North Primary School, Clovelly Parade, Clovelly Reserve and Mersey Crescent. Wherever possible, trenchless construction techniques will be used to minimise disturbance to the community.
All works, including service connections, have been carefully planned to minimise any disruptions to your water and sewer services.
Water will remain available throughout construction. We will notify you at least 48 hours in advance of a planned temporary interruption to your water service whilst we connect the new water main. If you have any water supply requirements other than normal domestic or business use (e.g. health related needs), please let us know so that we can arrange an alternative water supply.
We work closely with affected schools and businesses to minimise disruption wherever possible and determine the most suitable time to complete the works.
Select driveways along the works zone may not have have driveway access during the works. We'll contact affected properties before works begin and be there to assist residents during construction hours.
Immediately after the works are complete, we will apply top soil and seed to grassed areas affected by the works and, where possible, reinstate the area to its original condition. The Project Team will also repair any impacts to the road, footpath and driveways or arrange for these to be repaired by Council. We will provide you with further information about temporary and permanent reinstatement works once the work is complete.
There is no cost to the property owner for these works.
