Essential water network works planned in Swan View, Greenmount, Stratton and Jane Brook

Residents in parts of Swan View, Greenmount, Stratton and Jane Brook are advised of potential reduced water pressure or interrupted supply overnight on Sunday, 9 October 2022 to allow for essential upgrade works.

Works involve installing an isolation valve on a water distribution main along Amherst Road, Swan View to allow greater control over how water is supplied to different parts of the community. To minimise impacts, works are scheduled to take place overnight, from 9pm to 6am.

Residents are asked to please prepare by storing drinking water in bottles and jugs in the fridge and keeping sanitiser handy to clean your hands. 

Bottled water and bulk water will be available at Brown Park Community Centre carpark in Swan View from 7pm on the evening of works. Customers with special water needs are encouraged to contact Water Corporation’s 24-hour operations centre on 13 13 75 or visit Water Corporation’s website for further advice on how to prepare for a planned water outage.

As water pressure is restored, some residents may notice discoloured water due to increased flow stirring up natural sediment in the water. The sediment is harmless, and the water is safe to use. Discolouration will reduce as water is dispersed throughout the network.

Water Corporation understands this may cause some inconvenience and is committed to minimising any disruption as much as possible. We would like to thank the community for its patience and understanding while crews work to compete this important work.
