Balnarring, Cliff Road
Sewer works in your area starting May 2025
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 Cliff Road and the near by foreshore, Balnarring you might see us (or our contractor Land Engineering) around.
Here’s what to expect while we get the job done.

Frequently Asked Questions
South East Water manages an infrastructure renewal program, which involves monitoring the condition of our water and sewerage networks and undertaking upgrade works as needed. The aim of this program is to deliver reliable water and sewerage services to our customers and community.
The replacement of the sewer main will:
- Improve service reliability
- Reduce potential property damage if the sewer main were to fail
- Reduce maintenance and repair costs of the sewer 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. South East Water will install project signage at the work area approximately three days prior to commencing the works.
The new sewer main will be laid 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 and sewer services. During the works, we may ask you to avoid discharging into the sewer for a short period of time.
Water will remain available throughout construction. 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.
We work closely with affected schools and businesses to minimise disruption wherever possible and determine the most suitable time to complete the works.
Driveways along the works zone will have no driveway access during the works. We'll contact affected properties before works begin and be there to assist residents during construction hours.
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 work is complete.
There is no cost to the property owner for these works.
