We’re upgrading a section of water main along Napier Street, between Charles and Oxford Streets, 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 were scheduled to begin on Monday 12 May 2025 and were expected to take approximately six weeks to complete. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the project has now been delayed. We’ll update residents with a new start date, when this is confirmed.

Once underway, works will run from 7:30am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday, weather permitting.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

We are committed to minimising disruptions to the community, but you may notice some temporary impacts, including:

• Construction noise.
• Increased vehicle and crew activity, including trucks and contractor vehicles.
• Excavation along the footpath and road reserve.
• Minor traffic delays, with traffic management in place.
• Temporary access restrictions to some properties and limited on-street parking. Our crews will work with affected residents to minimise inconvenience.
• Water supply interruptions during testing and customer connections. We will provide directly impacted customers with further notification ahead of time.

We thank you for your patience as we deliver this important project.

The water main renewal will take place on Napier Street, Beauty Point between Charles Street and Oxford Street.
