Trunk sewer main renewal program.
We’re strengthening our sewer network in Moe and Morwell to
ensure customers continue to have reliable wastewater services. The works involve
pressure cleaning sewer pipelines followed by CCTV inspections. The ageing
sewer mains are then lined with a PVC material. The method of relining reduces disruption to customers and
extends the service life of the pipes. Careful planning will ensure minimal disruption to
customers, while this important preventative maintenance is completed.

In some cases our contractors, Insituform, will need to access customers’ backyards to carry out these inspections and upgrades.
If this is the case, Insituform will make contact with customers to arrange a suitable time for them to return and undertake works, which will need to be carried out across at least three visits.
Careful planning will ensure minimal disruption to customers, while this important preventative maintenance is completed.
At times between now and April, our contractors will be working in the following streets:
