We're repairing a wastewater pipe in Botany Road, Waterloo. The pipe is over 130 years old and has significantly deteriorated. Our work will keep our wastewater system running reliably and continue to protect the health of our communities and environment.

Location

We're working at night

Under the direction of Transport for NSW, most of our work will need to take place at night and part of the weekend to minimise disruption to traffic along Botany Road.

Our work hours are Monday to Thursday, 6pm to 7 am.

At a critical point in our repair, we’ll need to work both day and night across one weekend. We’ll let you know before this happens.

What to expect

• Noise: some of this work can be noisy. We will be monitoring noise levels at all times and doing what we can to minimise the impact, including restricting the time of noisy activities.
• Bypass pump and hose route: We’ll be working in a live wastewater system and will need clear or bypass the wastewater inside the pipe we’re repairing. To do this, we’ll need to install pumps which divert the flow of wastewater so our crews can work safely
• Access: access to parts of the roadway, sidewalk and the area surrounding some of the maintenance holes will be limited
• Traffic: our machinery and trucks may take up space on the street. Our traffic controllers will help traffic flow while keeping you safe
• Parking: Our vehicles will need to occupy some street parking. If we can’t access the work area, it can cause delays and prolong our work.
• Odour: There may be an increase in odour as we work. Don’t worry, this is normal and will pass

This work will not interrupt your water or wastewater services.
