This work is being undertaken to prepare for the replacement of the valves at a later date - further notification will be issued when a date for this work is set.
To prepare for the trial pipeline isolation, temporary scaffolding and lighting will be set up close to the pipeline, within the easement, on or near your property. This work will commence from the week starting Monday 31 May 2021.
On the afternoon and night of Saturday 5 June water will be released from valves along the pipeline. Valves, known as scour valves, are located at low points in the pipelines and often flow onto the land into natural gullies, waterways, or drains. Environmental controls are in place to minimise impacts to the local environment, plants and animals.
This work is scheduled to take place during the night, when water usage is at its lowest levels. There are no anticipated water supply disruptions.
Once the release of water from the pipeline commences, water will be directed into the existing water course near your property.
What to expect:
- Seqwater employees and contractors will be in the area and if applicable, working and accessing the easement on your property.
- Temporary lighting and scaffolding in the easement to ensure safety for work crews.
- Preparation work hours will be between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
- For the isolation, work crews will be onsite from 2pm Saturday 5 June until midday Sunday 6 June, working through the night.
- Background noise and lights from machinery.
- Water draining across nearby land into the existing draining system.
- This work will not disrupt your water supply.
