Nightwork investigations - January 2025

We’re doing investigation work to improve access to drinking water in the area.

This is not just about pipes. It’s about water – clean, life sustaining water. Our work will ensure we can continue to give you clean and reliable water as the area continues to grow.

What do I need to know?

We are considering reinstating the Ryde-Pymble trunk main, a drinking water pipeline that runs from Ryde Pump Station on Victoria Road to The Wahroonga Reservoir Site on Roland Avenue. As part of our planning and design work, we need to do some investigation work to locate services. The investigation work will include lane closures as part of our nightworks. Your water services won’t be impacted during this work.

Timing of investigations

Our investigations will take place from 28 January 2025 for two weeks, weather permitting. To minimise disruption, we will carry this work out during the night from 9pm to 5am.

How will this work impact me?

Once we’ve finished our investigations, we may return for further surveys. We’ll write to you again to let you know before we start.

We will be carrying out investigations on the following roads:

• Anzac Avenue, Denistone
• Blaxland Road, Denistone
• Victoria Road, West Ryde
• Hermitage Road, West Ryde
• Pacific Highway, Wahroonga.

Traffic and parking changes

For the safety of our workers and the community, there will be partial lane closures where we are doing investigations, and we may need to use some parking spaces. We’ll have signage in place to let you know where changes apply, and our traffic controllers will help keep traffic flowing around our work area while keeping you safe.

Noise

We do not anticipate any noise impacts from these works.
