Glen Innes branch sewer upgrade

Why is the project needed?

We are demolishing the old pump station and installing new pumps to complete this part of the project which stalled in 2022 due to faulty equipment. We have upgraded the existing wastewater infrastructure that was primarily built in the 1950s and 60s and are now in a position to complete the project which responds to growth and will provide a resilient long-term wastewater solution.

Key benefits include:

• Reduced impact on the environment

• Ease of operational and maintenance requirements

• Better health and safety outcomes

What's happening?

July update

We have upgraded the existing wastewater infrastructure with the pump station located on Maybury Reserve. Works included construction of a large storage pipeline, upgrading the existing pump station and upgrading to some network pipes.

The project was delayed in 2022 due to the pumps not working correctly and new ones having to be purchased from overseas.

These pumps were recently installed at the new pump station, so we are now concentrating on connecting into the rest of the network.

How will this work affect you?

We are connecting the new pipes into the network requiring work at specific points across the pipeline. The work will be undertaken during the day and within traffic management areas so we do not envisage this to be disruptive. This work is weather dependent - if its raining we can't do the work due to increased flow within the pipe. We will keep you advised of any changes.
