Clermont and Middlemount, Sewer Network Relining

Isaac Regional Council wishes to advise Middlemount and Clermont residents of sewer network relining works, which are due to commence on Monday, 15 March and continue through until June 2021.

The project was recently awarded to contractors Relining Solutions Pty Ltd, to undertake structural relining of the buried sewer pipelines within the two townships.

To undertake these essential works the contractor will need to access sewer pipelines and sewer manholes, some of which are within private property.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Council has engaged contractors Relining Solutions Pty Ltd to undertake the project which will rehabilitate the sewer gravity mains to service the area by structurally relining the interior of the pipelines and greatly extending their service life. The works will be completed in stages and include the pre-cleaning and CCTV investigation of the underground pipelines, followed by structural relining of portions of the sewer gravity network using PVC relining materials. The works will occur within the urban areas, including within residential and commercial properties and will require access to private properties to access the existing pipe and manhole network.  Affected property occupants will be given prior written notification.

WHEN IS IT HAPPENING?

The works are scheduled to commence in Middlemount initially in March and commence in Clermont during April, with works expected to continue through to June 2021.

These works will be undertaken:

Monday, 15 March 2021 to mid-June 2021 6.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday and 7am to 4pm Saturday Weather permitting Throughout the townships of Middlemount and Clermont

WHAT TO EXPECT

Council will be working closely with our contractors to minimise any impacts of this work on your daily routine. The sewer network will be rehabilitated by inserting new liners through existing manholes. Excavation or disruption of your sewerage service will not be necessary in the majority of cases. During this time, residents may experience an increase in noise and vehicle movement.  The Contractor will ensure appropriate safety, noise and environmental controls are in place at all times, and will endeavour to minimise any impact to the local community. There should be no disruption to your water and wastewater services.

REPORT A PROBLEM We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding as this important work is carried out to improve existing Council assets. If there are any concerns please call Council’s Customer Service Centre available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 1300 ISAACS (1300 472 227) so that it can be investigated and resolved.
