Cecil Hills - installation of electrical cables in May

Starting in May, we will begin work to install 3.4km of new underground electrical cable to connect the new pumping station being built in Cecil Hills to the Abbotsbury Zone Substation in Bonnyrigg Heights. We pull the electrical cables through existing underground conduits on Cowpasture Road, Elizabeth Drive, Gloucester Street, Lewis Street, Wilson Road, Simpson Road and Schubert Place.

From Monday, 10 May 2021, we will start investigating and surveying the area, setting up site facilities, digging pits and using winches to haul cables and we will restore the impacted areas. This will take about two weeks.

Construction will start on Monday 24 May 2021 and will take two weeks (weather permitting).

Our work hours

• 7 am to 6 pm Monday to Friday

• 8 am to 1 pm Saturday.

To reduce impacts to traffic, some work may be completed at night. We will notify you before this occurs.
