Water and sewer main upgrade program

We’re constantly planning for the future and upgrading your water and wastewater services. 

Through our planned renewal program, we replace ageing water mains and upgrade sewer mains across our service area. 

We replace water mains by installing a new water main in a similar alignment to the existing main. We then connect customers to the new main. 

When we replace old water mains, we assess whether the size of pipe we’re replacing is still suitable for the current demand and decide if we need to replace it with a larger main to continue meeting demand as towns grow. Our team carefully analyses the expected future demand so we don’t install more costly larger pipes if they aren’t needed.    

We clean sewer mains and reline them to improve the integrity of the existing pipe and increase their life into the future.  

What we’re doing this year 2025-26 

We’re replacing water mains in Moe, Newborough, Trafalgar, Morwell, Traralgon, and Sale. 

We'll be relining sewer mains in Warragul and Traralgon.
