As part of our investment in new and improved sewerage infrastructure, we recently renewed a section of our sewer main to ensure a reliable service to the area near Hinsby Beach, Taroona.
During late April 2024, we completed works to install a section of a new sewer main along the public access pathway between Hinsby Road and Hinsby Beach.
We thank the residents and community for their understanding while we completed this important work.
TasWater proudly acknowledges the Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the custodians of lutruwita/ Tasmania – Aboriginal land, sea and waterways. We pay our deep respects to the Elders past and present and acknowledge today’s Tasmanian Aboriginal community.
