Clermont Sewer Manhole Rehabilitation Works

Isaac Regional Council wishes to advise Clermont residents of sewer manhole rehabilitation works due to commence:

Monday, 12 April 2021 to June 2021 6.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday and 7am to 4pm Saturday Weather permitting Throughout the township of Clermont

The project was recently awarded to contractors Nixon Plumbing Pty Ltd, to undertake rehabilitation of the sewer manholes within the township of Clermont.

To undertake these essential works the contractor requires access to the sewer manholes, some of which are located within private properties.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

Council has engaged contractors Nixon Plumbing Pty Ltd to undertake the project which will rehabilitate the sewer manholes within the area by adding or replacing precast concrete sections and greatly extending their service life. The works will be completed in stages and include the initial investigation of the existing manholes, followed by the rehabilitation works. 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 sewer manhole network. Affected property occupants will be given prior written notification.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Council will be working closely with our contractors to minimise any impacts of this work on your daily routine. The sewer manholes will be rehabilitated by replacing and adding precast concrete components to existing manholes. During this time, residents may experience an increase in noise and vehicle movement. Machinery access to properties will be required to allow the works to be completed. This will generally consist of a small excavator and may include other equipment. Excavation or disturbance of your yard within close proximity to the manholes may be required to allow manholes to be rehabilitated. Your property will be reinstated to a condition similar to or better than that which existed prior to the commencement of works. 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.
