What |
Drilling new deep wells and to ensure long-term drinking water security for the community. |

Why |
The existing wells and station have reached the end of their useful asset life and do not meet future water demand. New wells need to be drilled and secured prior to rebuilding the station to meet the latest water quality standards. |

Details
We need to mobilise some large machinery to the site so we’ll be removing trees within the pump station site.
What does this mean for you?
- There may be brief disruptions to traffic initially while large equipment is loaded onto the site.
- You’ll be able to access your property at all times.
- No work will be done on Sundays or public holidays.
- Drinking water will not be affected at all.
Onsite hazards
- Construction equipment and workers onsite.
- Construction equipment moving into and out of the work site.
- These works will take place from mid August 2024 until the end of August 2025.
- Drilling operation will create some noise. We aim to minimise noise as much as possible.
- Physical works onsite at 46 Kerrs Road.
Thank you for your patience while we upgrade the pump station.
Noise
There may be increased noise, dust and vibrations during work but it shouldn’t impact on your power, water, gas or phone services.
Safety
Safety is our biggest priority so please keep children and pets away from worksites.
Bins
Please put your bins out as usual before 6am on your collection day. Our crew will move and return them if needed.
