Due to a history of recurring pipe failures, the aging Chatsworth Rd water main has been deemed unreliable.

To minimise water outages in the area and disruption to customers, we are now renewing the existing water pipe, improving the resilience of the network and access to safe drinking water for the local community.  

During the works, part of Whitemans  and Chatsworth roads will be reduced to one lane and traffic management will be in place.

Parking and property access may be limited during this time and we will ensure residents are kept updated.
