We’re constantly planning for the future and upgrading your water services.
Through our planned renewal program, we replace ageing water 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.
What we’re doing this year 2026 - 27
We’re replacing around 2.8km of water mains in Warragul, Yarragon, Trafalgar, Thorpdale, Sale and Maffra.
