Gippsland Water invests $2.8M in system upgrades, including water and sewer main renewals across multiple areas
Gippsland Water is investing $2.8 million this year as part of a $21.5 million five-year renewal program, upgrading water and sewer mains in various regions to enhance system reliability and lifespan.
Gippsland Water is investing $2.8 million across its service area this financial year to enhance water and sewer system reliability. It is part of a $21.5 million five-year renewal program, which will see the replacement of water reticulation mains and cleaning and relining of sewer mains to improve the integrity of existing pipes and extend their lifespan.
Gippsland Water relined almost 6km of sewer main in Traralgon and Morwell, replaced almost 5km of water mains in Morwell, Traralgon, Churchill, Sale and Stratford for better water service and will continue replace water across Gippsland
Upgrading water infrastructure
Managing director Sarah Cumming said crews will be completing water main renewals in Newborough, Noojee, Sale, Wurruk, Heyfield and Maffra over the next six months. "Our service area includes 2,200 kilometres of water mains and 1,800 of sewer mains, which we're constantly monitoring as part of our renewal program."
"Last year we upgraded nearly six kilometres of sewer main in Traralgon and Morwell and almost six kilometres of water mains in Morwell, Traralgon, Churchill, Sale and Stratford were upgraded. By planning for the future and completing these renewals each year we're able to ensure reliable and efficient water and wastewater services are provided to both homes and businesses. If your water supply is going to be interrupted by planned works, we'll let you know in advance," Ms Cumming said.
Water and sewer mains are scheduled for renewal based on the results of continued assessments on condition and future demand. To find out where renewals are happening next visit, Gippsland Water website.
