Mirboo North's water is delivered through a pipe that was built over 70 years ago. We plan to replace it by 2023.
The existing water main runs along and under the Strzelecki Highway which causes disruptions to traffic whenever maintenance or repair work is needed. It's also a significant hazard to Gippsland Water staff.
We are committed to keeping the community informed throughout the planning and construction process.

We’re constructing a new sewer main to improve the flow of wastewater in Traralgon. The new pipe will connect to the existing sewer pump station in Breed Street and allow us to pump wastewater more efficiently. This new rising main is the first stage of a long term project to improve the capacity of Traralgon’s sewer network.
Planned completion date: Spring 2019
In autumn and winter 2019, we tested parts of the Morwell sewer system. We wanted to make sure there were no leaks or poor connections that could cause wastewater overflows and create a health hazard.
The testing showed a number of private properties had faulty sewer connections that could allow stormwater to enter the sewer system.
It's important that action is taken to fix any issue.
