Investigative works in your area starting July 2023

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 works off Thompsons Road, Cranbourne East you might see us or our delivery partner Zinfra, Jaydo, WSP Joint Venture (ZJW) around.

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

What we're doing

This project is to construct underground pipes to allow existing estates to be supplied with recycled water in the future. We're still planning this project but you might see us around, or more trucks in the area as we undertake cultural heritage investigative works so we can finalise our plans.

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

We're working with ZJW to help us.

When it's happening

We're still planning this project, but you might see us around, or more trucks in the area in July and August while we undertake cultural heritage investigative works. Due to the weather we might not work continuously, but it should take around 15 days in total.

You can expect us to work Monday to Friday between 7am and 5pm. On the odd occasion, we may 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:

  • Movement of heavy vehicles in and out of work zones during working hours.
  • More trucks on local roads and in reserve areas.

The works area is within 1660 Thompsons Road, but you may notice more trucks and vehicles in your area as we will be entering the site from both Thompsons Road and Berwick-Cranbourne Road.

Don't miss these details

We haven't finalised construction timelines yet. We'll keep this webpage updated and notify the area prior to construction starting.

There are no planned distruptions to your water or sewerage services during these works.

When we’ve finished the job, we’ll leave things how we found them and return any areas we’ve impacted as close as possible to their original condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

We manage a proactive infrastructure program which involves replacing, maintaining and upgrading the existing water and sewerage infrastructure above and below the ground, so you can always rely on us when you need a drink, a bath, to wash the clothes or dishes and every time you flush or send water down the drain.

ZJW will complete these works on behalf of South East Water. 

No, we don't plan to impact driveway access. If for any reason during construction we need to block your driveway access, we will notify you in person and where possible, provide at least 24 hours' notice so that alternative parking arrangements can be made.

To safely undertake these works, traffic conditions may change so please take care when travelling around the construction sites.

When we’ve finished the job, we’ll leave things how we found them and return any areas we’ve impacted as close as possible to their original condition.
