Each year we carry out routine cleaning of water main networks to ensure we continue to deliver safe drinking water and high-quality services to our customers, and maintain our supply network infrastructure.

Why mains need cleaning

The ongoing maintenance of our water and sewer network:

  • helps prevent blockages
  • improves the efficiency and reliability of our service
  • ensures we deliver safe drinking water and meet Australian Drinking Water Guideline.
  • helps prevent issues such as sewer overflows or leaks.

Once the program is completed it is hoped that turbidity indicators and chlorine residuals will improve in the network.
