Mundijong water supply improvements

What’s happening?

We are constructing a water pipeline along Paterson Street, Mundijong. The pipeline is being installed underground by open trench excavation.

Although there are detours in place, all shops and businesses along Paterson Street are operating as normal. Please continue to support your local businesses during this work.

Where is this happening?

The work is taking place along Paterson Street in Mundijong, from Keirnan Street to Mundijong Road. 

Why is this taking place?

The construction of the pipeline is to improve the reliability of the water supply.

When is this taking place?

The majority of work will be completed Monday to Friday between 7am and 5pm. However, some Saturday work will be required, but we will endeavour to keep it to a minimum.  

Construction commenced on 10 May 2021 and will take approximately six months to deliver. Below are some stages of work coming up and the traffic detours in place:

Traffic management will be in place to minimise the impact on residents and businesses. 
Please follow the signs and drive safely.
