Project schedule, impacts, water release, night works

Seqwater will be undertaking extensive work including releasing water, night works and the use of heavy machinery on the weekend of 3 and 4 July 2021.

A temporary work site, including scaffolding, fencing and lighting, has been established close to your property and work will be conducted through the weekend. A crane and other heavy machinery will be used by work crews.

On the day of Saturday 3 July 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. There are no anticipated water supply disruptions.

What to expect:

  • Seqwater employees and contractors will be in the area throughout the weekend of 3 and 4 July 2021 undertaking 24-hour work.
  • From 5 July 2021, work hours will be 6am – 6pm, Monday to Friday.
  • A work site has been established and will remain in place until late July.
  • Background noise and lights from machinery, including a crane.
  • Water draining across nearby land into the existing draining system.
  • No loss of water should occur. If you do experience a complete loss of water, please report this to Urban Utilities on 13 23 64.
