Water main installation project, Clermont

Clermont residents are advised Isaac Regional Council will undertake the construction of a new water pipeline along East Street and Lime Street as part of Council’s commitment to improve water service quality and delivery.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

The existing water mains have incurred a series of breaks and has reached its end of life.  Council has engaged contractors Newlands Group to undertake the project which will construct new water mains to service the area. To improve the robustness of the water network the new mains will be upsized creating a ring main to improve water security. Safety fencing will be erected for pedestrians and vehicles for the excavation and trenching, pipeline installation and resurfacing of pavement.

WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?

To minimise disruption to households these works will be undertaken:  

Mid-January 2021 to May 2021

Between 6.30am and 6pm Monday to Saturday Sunday 8am to 4pm

WHAT TO EXPECT

Footpaths and verge areas will be closed at alternate times during construction. Pedestrians should exercise caution around the work zone. Single lane closures, footpath and shoulder closures and speed restrictions will continue to be used as required to ensure the safety of motorists, pedestrians, and the workers. Residents can expect some noise and dust during certain activities. Newlands Group will monitor noise and dust on site and will limit disruptions where possible. Access to individual properties may be restricted for short periods of time. Newlands Group will make contact prior to work occurring. Planned water outages will occur for only a short period of time during the cutover to the new water main. Newlands Group will make contact prior to this occurring as residents and business may experience instances of dirty water following this procedure. If this occurs Council recommends flushing tap water for up to five minutes or until the water becomes clear.
