Under the ProMac project we are building new drinking water pipelines and infrastructure between Prospect South and Macarthur as part of Sydney Water's long-term plan to extend the city’s water capacity and supply.

ProMac will upgrade our existing water reservoirs at Liverpool, Cecil Park and Currans Hill as well as build two new reservoirs at Oran Park. This will allow for an extra 100 Megalitres of additional reservoir capacity in Western Sydney. That’s the equivalent of about 50 Olympic-sized swimming pools!

We’re also building 15 km of additional pipework, three pumping stations and upgrading our existing network to ensure growing communities in South Western Sydney have access to clean drinking water.

Sydney Water is investing in new infrastructure that will support the growing, dynamic South Western Sydney.

ProMac will help Sydney Water deliver on its vision of creating a better life with world-class water services.

    We’ll be working at the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and Feodore Drive to remove the borehead from the tunnelling machine that has been installing a new water pipe below Lancaster Avenue.

    To minimise the impact to road users during the week, we’ll complete this work during one night shift between Friday 11 June and Wednesday 16 June 2021, weather permitting. We will not work Sundays or public holidays.

    Our work hours at this intersection will be from 10 pm to 4:30 am. Work will include digging in the road to remove a tunnelling borehead and temporary restoration of impacted areas.

    During these extended hours, we’ll be accessing our site compound in Pye Hill Reserve via Leopold Place for deliveries and to collect materials to transport to the worksite.

    During our night works, we’ll need to temporarily close Feodore Drive between Lancaster Avenue and Clementina Circuit to remove the tunnelling borehead. Local access will be maintained to properties within this road closure, however there may be some delays. A detour will be in place via Spencer Road and Feodore Drive.

  • Liverpool Reservoir - extended Saturday working hours

    Share Liverpool Reservoir - extended Saturday working hours on Facebook Share Liverpool Reservoir - extended Saturday working hours on Twitter Share Liverpool Reservoir - extended Saturday working hours on Linkedin Email Liverpool Reservoir - extended Saturday working hours link

    We are making great progress on the upgrades to Liverpool Reservoir, where we are building a new pumping station, a new reservoir tank and new pipelines to deliver drinking water services to over 84,000 homes in South West Sydney.

    We are trying to complete the project as soon as possible, so we will be extending our working hours from on Saturdays (8am - 5pm), starting Saturday 10 April 2020 until early 2022.

    We know our work can be disruptive so we will make any effort to reduce impacts to the community by doing noisier work during our standard hours of work during the week and switching off machinery when not in use.

    We have chosen rotary bored piling because it produces lower vibrations than other piling methods, but you may notice some vibrations as piling works continue.
