A leak in the pipeline was discovered under the mudflats of MacLeay Island in May, with the Seqwater team mobilising to site immediately to begin investigations.
“Seqwater has been monitoring the situation around the clock to ensure the leak does not cause water disruption for the community,” said Seqwater Chief Operating Officer Stuart Cassie.
“The water pressure within the pipeline remains strong, which means we are delivering on our promise to maintain supply to Macleay Island.
“All residents can continue their normal water use at this time.”
Mr Cassie said with drilling investigations now complete, the team will drill a hole suitable for a new 400 mm pipeline to be installed.
Seqwater will temporarily turn off water supply to both islands in order to switch to the new pipe.
