We've had our heads down and our tails up, working every day for the community to deliver the essential services that keep our region running.
Water and Sewer delivery
Over the past three months, we have:
- produced 6,834 megalitres of drinking water for the coast (the equivalent of 2,733 Olympic swimming pools worth)
- laid 1.2km of new water mains in the Gosford area
- installed 415 new water services region-wide from customer applications
- connected four water main sections, from newly constructed to existing water infrastructure at Berkley Vale
- continued its Water Mains Flushing Program, servicing water mains in 24 suburbs and removing 2.2 megalitres of discoloured water from pipes
- inspected 6.8km of sewer mains across the coast, relining 1.8km of mains and an additional 1km of large carrier mains to improve infrastructure
- cleared 430 sewer main chokes to prevent breaks and overflows into the environment
- removed 400 tonnes of grit and fatbergs from Kincumber Sewage Treatment Plant
- continued to maintain the coast's catchment areas to ensure the best raw water supply into treatment plants including removing a large amount of sediment and Sagitaria weeds from the seepage weir at Mangrove Creek Dam.
We are also working through the planning phase of its 2021-22 Water Main Renewal Program, with 32 separate water main renewal projects to be delivered this financial year including:
- Masson Lane, Killcare
- Beach Drive, Killcare
- Bonnal Road, Erina
- Barralong Rd, Erina
- Ansell Cl, Chittaway Point
- Hereford St Berkeley Vale
- Pacific HWY Tuggerah
ready and scheduled to commence in the next month.
And we have identified 1,630 water meters across the coast due for replacement this financial year as part of Council's annual Water Meter Replacement Program.
Roads and pathways delivery
On our roads during April, May and June Council:
- completed 12.2km of road pavement renewal and resurfacing
- made 12,055 potholes repairs
- remarked 15.5km of road lines
- graded 175.5km of unsealed roads
- repaired or replaced 782 road signs
- made 178 footpath repairs
- cleaned 16.5km of stormwater table drains
We remain focused on our community's 'must-haves', ensuring the continued delivery of essential maintenance, infrastructure and services.
This regular day-to-day work is often less talked about or overshadowed by the "new", but this critical work continues to happen every day behind the scenes as we move toward financial stability
