Sawyers Valley water tank replacement

What's happening?

Water Corporation is planning to upgrade the water supply infrastructure in Sawyers Valley, within the Shire of Mundaring. This project is part of a long-term plan to improve water supply in the area.

In 2022 we replaced the existing 22kl tank with a 25kl tank as a temporary tank, as the existing tanks roof was compromised.

The long-term plan in 2024 is to replace the temporary 25kl tank with a larger 50kl tank at the existing site on Millstream Drive and upgrade the pump station on Great Eastern Highway, to ensure we can continue to supply water to the growing community. 

When is this happening?

Replacement of the existing tank to the temporary tank is scheduled has been completed.

Replacement of the larger tank is likely to commence early 2024 and will take approximately 6 months to complete.

Where is this happening?

The tank replacement will occur within the existing tank site on Millstream Drive in Sawyers Valley.

The pump station site is located on Great Eastern Highway in the far corner of Sawyers Valley Oval, please see below for maps off both locations.

How will this impact me?

As with any construction activities, there will be an increase in vehicle movement, noise and dust in the area. The construction and installation works of the tank will be confined to the existing site at the end of Millstream Drive.

There will be a temporary generator located at the existing pump station site on the corner of Sawyers Valley Oval, Great Eastern Highway, should this generator be needed to be used during the construction there may be some increased noise, although we expect this will be minimal and residents will be advised if this is required. 

We thank you for your understanding and cooperation whilst this essential work takes place.

Reinstatement

We follow a thorough reinstatement process to ensure all impacted areas are replaced like for like, where practically possible.

We will work closely with residents and the Shire of Mundaring to ensure all reinstatements are carried out to an acceptable standard.
