TasWater is investing in vital sewerage upgrades to protect our environment and support Tasmania’s growing communities.

Work to install a new subsea pipeline across Gage Cove, linking the Old Beach sewage pump station with the Herdsmans Cove shoreline is now complete. This pipeline connects into the existing sewerage network at both shores.

This work was prioritised as urgent following recent pipeline breaks. The new pipeline will:

• Reduce environmental risks by providing a more reliable system.
• Increase capacity to meet the needs of Old Beach and the surrounding areas as the community grows.

Work began in late September 2025 and was completed in November 2025.

We would like to thank the community for their patience while we delivered this important upgrade to protect the health of our waterways.
