Mount Eliza, Water Main Renewal
Works in your area starting early April 2026
You might not notice a lot of the work we do because most of it is beneath your feet. Every day, we’re maintaining and upgrading the pipes and pumps that keep water flowing. With some upcoming works in Berkeley Court, Dalsten Grove, Gillards Rd, McCutcheon Cl, Kingsley Crt and Baden Powell Drv Mount Eliza you might see us or our delivery partner Beca, Fulton Hogan, Interflow Joint Venture (BFHI JV) around.
Here’s what to expect while we get the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our infrastructure renewal program involves replacing, maintaining and upgrading the existing water and sewerage infrastructure above and below the ground, so you can always rely on us when you need a drink, a bath, to wash the clothes or dishes and every time you flush or send water down the drain.
The upgrade of the water main will:
- Improve water service reliability
- Reduce potential property damage if the water main were to fail
- Reduce maintenance and repair costs of the water main
South East Water will provide notices of their intention to work in an area prior to the work commencing. If the works are deferred, we will send you another notification of the new proposed start date. If you're directly impacted, our project team will get in touch prior to works starting.
The new water main will be laid in the nature strip or, if necessary, in the road. Wherever possible, trenchless construction techniques will be used to minimise disturbance to the community.
All works, including service connections, have been carefully planned to minimise any disruptions to your water service. Water will remain available throughout construction unless otherwise advised. We will notify you at least 48 hours in advance of any planned service disruptions. If you have any water supply requirements other than normal domestic or business use (e.g. health related needs), please let us know so that we can arrange an alternative water supply.
Immediately after the works are complete, we will apply top soil and seed to grassed areas affected by the works and, where possible, reinstate the area to its original condition. The Project Team will also repair any impacts to the road, footpath and driveways or arrange for these to be repaired by Council. We will provide you with further information about temporary and permanent reinstatement works once the water main renewal work is complete.
There is no cost to the property owner for these works.
