What's this project all about?
We’re upgrading a section of water main along Napier Street, between Charles and Oxford Streets in Beauty Point, to help ensure a more reliable water service for the Beauty Point community.
The existing 100mm pipe has experienced a growing number of failures in recent years and is no longer performing to our standards. To improve long-term reliability and reduce the risk of future disruptions, we will be replacing it with a durable 100mm PVC-O water main.
Works are expected to commence on Monday, 2 June 2025. Work hours will be between 7am and 6pm, Monday to Friday, weather permitting.
Community Impacts
What to expect during these works:
We are committed to minimising disruptions to the community, but you may notice some temporary impacts, including:
- Increased vehicle and crew movements in the area, including trucks, TasWater fleet vehicles, and contractor vehicles
- Excavation works along the Napier Street footpath and road reserve
- Construction noise
- Traffic management will be in place to manage safety, maintain property access, and minimise impacts to local traffic - please anticipate minor traffic delays during the works
- Some properties may experience short-term access restrictions during construction – our crews will work closely with affected customers to reduce any inconvenience
- Limited water supply interruptions while we carry out pre-start testing and connect the new pipeline – we’ll notify affected property owners in advance with confirmed dates and times.
We thank you for your patience as we deliver this important project.
