Update on works - Currans Hill Reservoir

Sydney Water is working to expand our network to meet increased demands from growth in South West Sydney, ensuring our existing and future customers continue to have reliable access to clean drinking water. As part of the Prospect to Macarthur (ProMac) project we have replaced the reservoir in Currans Hill so that it can reliably supply water to the community for decades to come.

At the Currans Hill Reservoir we are nearing completion and are in the final stages of blasting and painting, installing the stair tower and civil works. You will begin to see an increase in traffic as we finalise construction and demobilise from the site. We will continue to update you on our progress and further scheduled work.

Upcoming work:

Previous out of hours work permits expired in May. As our work is nearing completion, to meet critical milestones we will be working outside regular hours on Saturdays from 7am to 5pm. Commencing Saturday 29 June 2024 until Saturday 7 September 2024,

Our standard work hours:

  • 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Friday.
  • 8:00 am to 1:00 pm Saturday.

This work will involve:

  • Abrasive blasting of tank shell during standard hours.
  • Painting of tank shell during extended Saturday hours.
  • Reservoir completion general work.

What you need to know:

Thank you for your support and patience during this essential work. We know our work can be disruptive, so we’ll make every effort to reduce any impact this work may have on you. To help minimise the impact the following is being implemented.

  • Scheduling painting for hours 1-5pm Saturday. Painting deemed the least noisy activity.
  • Switching off all truck radios (commercial) upon arrival at site and use truck communication radios with truck cabin windows and doors closed.
  • No unnecessary loud noises (e.g.talking loudly, slamming doors).
  • Arranging the work site to minimise the use of movement alarms on vehicles and mobile plant equipment and keep truck reversing to a minimum.
  • Taking extra care to minimise noise while loading or unloading trucks with materials or equipment (e.g.avoid dropping materials from height and metal to metal contact).
  • Turning off plant and equipment that is not being used and don’t leave trucks idling near homes.
