Metro Water Renewals

Construction is due to begin late 2024. The tables below will be updated with expected construction dates.

In July, we will begin preparation work in the below areas,  to determine the exact location of underground services such as gas, electricity, telecommunications and drains. 

Noise and dust

Noise and dust will be kept to a minimum however, construction will involve road cutting, excavating and compacting.

Traffic management 

Traffic management will be in place to ensure the safety of our crew and your community.

Access 

The new pipe will be installed in the road verge. Access will be interrupted for up to a day while we are completing the section of pipe directly out the front of each property.  We will contact you ahead of time to organise access requirements for your property.

Reinstatement of verges and driveways 

A temporary reinstatement of your driveway and road will be completed the same day and a permanent reinstatement upon completion of your street.  

Please be assured that any affected area, including verges and driveways, will be reinstated as closely as possible to its condition prior to the work.

Water outage

There may be a temporary water supply interruption to your property during the work. We will contact you directly if your property is affected.

Connection pipe

As well as replacing the water pipe along this street, we may also be required to replace your connection pipe. This pipe runs between the new water pipe and your water meter. We will notify you ahead of time if we will renew your connection pipe.

We follow a thorough reinstatement process to ensure all impacted areas are replaced like for like, where practically possible. We work closely with the Local Government and residents to ensure all reinstatements are carried out to an acceptable and high standard.

We thank you for your patience and appreciate your cooperation while this necessary work is carried out.
