The new 427-metre water main will be constructed on the western side of Pearl Street, between Turnock and Seaview streets. These works will start in early June and take approximately 9 weeks to complete.
Following on from the water main upgrade, roadworks including resurfacing and upgrades to pedestrian crossings, roundabouts, medians and kerbs will take place in the same area to improve road quality. These works will take a further 9 weeks to complete.
Manager Roads and Stormwater Danny Rose said crews will work to minimise disruptions to the community.
"These are major works taking place in a confined urban environment so there will be a short-term impact on residents and motorists," he said.
"We have already written to around 2,000 businesses and residents close to the works to give as much notice as possible and we will notify them of any significant changes to the planned works. As with all roadworks, we are always reliant on the weather."
The total value of the combined works is $1.15 million.
Council crews will work from Monday to Friday, 7am-5pm. Works will also take place overnight for approximately 5 nights towards the end of the project for resurfacing.
Motorists are advised there will be delays at times and alternative routes should be taken, if possible. Traffic control will be in place at key intersections to manage traffic flow.
Pedestrians will be able to move around the site using existing footpaths to access businesses and nearby homes. There will be short-term vehicle access restrictions to properties and businesses during work hours, however traffic controllers will be on hand to help those needing to gain access.
