Bossley Park - valve installation works at rear of Mimosa Road shops

We are upgrading the existing water pumping station inside Prospect Reservoir to provide drinking water services for 84,000 new homes in the South West Growth Area and Western Sydney Aerotropolis Growth Area.

As part of these works, we will be installing a valve in the laneway at the rear of the Mimosa Road Shops, Bossley Park to control the pressure of the water as it enters homes. There will also be a small electrical cabinet and pits installed on the council verge outside 2 Quarry Road, Bossley Park.

As you may be aware, we postponed these works in 2021 to commence in the New Year. We are now ready to start these works on Monday 17 January 2022, and expect to finish by early March 2022, weather permitting.

There will be an interruption to water supply during the final stages of work. Residents will be notified before this occurs.

Traffic changes

There will be changed pedestrian and traffic conditions as we work in the laneway behind the Mimosa Road Shops. Access to the laneway from Quarry Road will be temporarily closed for the duration of the work and staff parking at the rear of the shops will also remain closed during the works.

A section of footpath along Quarry Road will also be temporarily closed for the duration of the work.

The bus stop (ID 2176144) at 2 Quarry Road will be temporarily relocated approximately 30 metres to the west. Traffic controllers will manage vehicle and pedestrian movement around the work area to keep you safe.

Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians are advised to observe all project signage and traffic control directions during construction. Please see map for the location of work.
