Sydney Water is renewing a section of the water main, which provides the drinking water to the area, along Bower Lane and the section from ‘the shed’ on Marine Parade to Bower Lane during March. These works are not associated with any stormwater pipes.

Before they start the work on the project, they need to do some investigations to confirm where their pipes and other services are below the ground. This will save time when it comes to construction which will start later this year. To reduce the impact on Marine Parade businesses and recreational use, the work along Marine Parade will be done between 7pm-5am while the Bower Lane work will be done during standard daytime hours 7am-6pm.

A notification has been distributed to all residents within 150 metres of the site and signage has been erected on Marine Parade to notify the closure of the walkway during the night from the shed to Bower Lane.

When work is complete, Sydney Water will temporarily restore the road and footpath to allow for continued use. But after the water main renewal is finished later in the year, they liaise with Council to complete permanent restoration.
