Prospect South to Macarthur (ProMac)

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 these works, we successfully installed and connected a valve to the water main in the laneway behind 65 Mimosa Road, Bossley Park to control the pressure of the water as it enters homes.

We have removed our equipment from the laneway and reopened to allow for normal use. We’ll liaise with your local council to permanently restore the laneway and council verge.

Thank you for your support and patience during this work.

Upcoming work

We still need to install an electrical cabinet and connect the cabling. The cabinet is currently being manufactured offsite. You may have noticed a 3 metre by 1.2 metre concrete foundation in the nature strip outside 2 Quarry Road, this is where the electrical cabinet will be installed.

When we are ready to install the cabinet, we’ll notify you again. This work will occur during standard daytime hours.

Our work hours

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

As part of the Prospect to Macarthur (ProMac) project we are replacing the reservoir in Currans Hill so that it can reliably supply water to the community for decades to come.

We are continuing to use a crane to dismantle the reservoir wall panels. To dismantle the final row of panels at the base of the reservoir, we need to remove the grout seal. We plan to undertake this work using an excavator and small hammer attachment from Tuesday 3 May 2022. This activity will take up to four shifts to complete, weather permitting.

The grout is embedded in a channel in the concrete foundation around the outside of the tank. To give residents respite from noise and vibration, jack hammering works will occur in three-hour blocks, with one hour breaks in between.

This work will involve:

• using a 5 tonne excavator with a small cylindrical hammer attachment to break away grout from concrete using elevated work platforms to dismantle the tank in sections
• lifting sections of panels with the use of a crane
• transporting components that can’t be re-used or recycled offsite by truck.

Our work hours

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

As part of the ProMac project, we have recently installed a valve in the laneway behind 65 Mimosa Road, Bossley Park. The new valve will control the pressure of water as it is released through the pipes and into homes, ensuring our existing and future customers continue to have reliable access to clean drinking water.

Upcoming work

Now that we have completed the installation of the valve, we will commence work to connect the valve to the existing network. We will set up our compound and fencing in the laneway on Saturday 26 March 2022 ready to start preparation works for this connection from Monday 28 March 2022. Our preparation work will occur during standard daytime hours and will take up to eight days to complete, weather permitting.

Sydney Water is working to expand our network to meet increased demands from growth in South West Sydney. In Bossley Park, we are installing a valve on Prairie Vale Road to control the pressure of water as it enters homes to ensure our existing and future customers continue to have reliable access to clean drinking water.

Upcoming night work

We have recently completed installation of the valve on Prairie Vale Road between Crow Place and Apache Road. We previously advised you that the final connection for this valve would occur on Friday 21 January 2022. Due to postponements out of our control, this work did not go ahead as planned. We are now ready to complete the final connection.

We will complete the final connection at night on Thursday 10 February 2022 between 8 pm and 6 am, weather permitting.

Water outage

While the connection is completed, some residents will experience water outages for up to eight hours on Thursday 10 February only between 9 pm and 4 am. Sydney Water will notify all affected residents in a separate letter.

Traffic changes

As we complete this work, there will be a temporary closure of the eastbound lane along Prairie Vale Road between Crow Place and Apache Road. All traffic will share the use of the westbound lane on a stop-slow arrangement. The footpath will be closed to pedestrians and traffic controllers will ask pedestrians to stop and wait before crossing the road.

Motorists, cyclists and pedestrians are advised to observe all project signage and traffic control directions during construction.

Construction activities

Construction activities will include exposing the existing water main to connect the new valve to the existing main with bolting and welding. There will be trucks and other construction equipment with reversing beepers working in the area.
