Prospect South to Macarthur (ProMac)

On 2 February 2022, Sydney Water’s contractor Saunders has achieved operational completion on the new 60ML reservoir at the Liverpool Reservoir facility in Cecil Hills.

The reservoir is part of the Prospect to Macarthur (ProMac) project which is securing drinking water for the expanding communities in the South West Growth Area and Western Sydney Aerotropolis Growth Area. At Liverpool Reservoir, work is continuing to build a new drinking water pipeline, pumping station and re-chlorination plant.

The reservoir will be temporarily used as back-up storage to the existing tank until it is connected to the new ProMac water main in March. The new tank doubles the water storage capacity at the Liverpool Reservoir facility.

To ensure the tank was leak free before commencing service, Saunders undertook a final fill to 100% capacity throughout late January. This involved filling the tank in 20% increments over a three week period. At each increment, water was held for 24-hours and monitored.

The tank stands 13 metres high and is 80 metres in diameter, and can hold more than 24 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of drinking water. 530 tonnes of steel were used in its construction and 15,000 litres of paint were applied to the interior and exterior.

The new reservoir will feed the main pipeline which travels up to the Cecil Park Reservoir. It will additionally feed pipelines within the wider ProMac network. The ProMac project is anticipated for completion in late 2023.

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

• exposing the existing water main
• connecting the new valve to the existing main with bolting and welding.
• truck and equipment movements with reversing beepers working in the area

We’ll try to do the noisiest work early in the night, but there will be some noise after midnight at times when we backfill and restore the area. We will return on Monday 14 February to complete a final restoration of the disturbed area.
