Main installations begin at Cadell

SA Water installs new Murray Bridge water main

The new main is on River Terrace in Cadell and is part of the utility’s four-year, $155 million water main management program.  

SA Water General Manager of Sustainable Infrastructure Amanda Lewry said the ongoing investment would ensure a reliable and safe supply of clean water.  

“We are using PVC pipes for the majority of our water main replacement program, which are known for their better flexibility and resistance to movement, compared to fibro-cement. 

“While it’s difficult to completely stop water main leaks and breaks from occurring due to soil movement, weather and a variety of other environmental factors, we’re committed to proactively limiting their frequency and any potential impact on our customers,” she said. 

“With the new pipes having an approximate life span of up to 100 years, this project ensures we can keep providing our customers in Cadell with safe, smart, reliable and affordable water services for years to come.” 

Construction is anticipated to take approximately three weeks to complete, with works to take place between 7am and 5pm from Monday to Friday.
