Barwon Water hosted an information session to update the community about the Barwon Heads Sewer Upgrade project.
Attendees at the session heard the latest project updates, including what to expect during construction.
“We are mindful that the works have a significant interface with the community and so have been engaging deeply with the community before works start,” Barwon Water managing director Shaun Cumming said.
“Throughout our engagement we’ve heard from many members of the community that they appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the project and everyone we spoke to had received our customer mail out.
“We’ve also heard feedback from the community that we have selected the best option to complete the works, which includes weaving the temporary pipeline through the Village Park walking paths to minimise road closures and avoid vegetation removal.”
Cumming said the works were part of the utility’s ongoing commitment to providing high quality sewerage services to the community.
“The works will see infrastructure upgraded to prevent sewer spills in the future, protect the environment and maintain reliable sewerage services”.
The works, which will take place along the pipeline alignment between the Barwon River and the Barwon Heads pump station on the Geelong Road and Barwon Heads Road, are expected to be completed in late 2024, with weather permitting.
