Update – Sewer Relining Program - April 2020
To ensure the long term sustainability and efficiency of our sewerage infrastructure, Council is undertaking a sewer relining program across the Murgon, Wondai and Nanango sewerage schemes.
Relining Solutions was awarded the contract for the works being delivered as part of the Wide Bay Burnett Regional Organisation of Council’s (WBBROC) Sewer Relining Program, a region-wide initiative to deliver cost savings to Council.
Phase 1 of the program, involving the use of CCTV robotics to inspect all sewers within the schemes, has been completed, with CCTV footage used by Council to assess and identify critical sections of the sewer network that requires remedial works.
Phase 2 of the sewer relining program involving the rehabilitation of the network, to extend the life of existing sewer infrastructure, is about to commence. Originally planned to start in February 2020, liner delivery delays have pushed the start date to Tuesday 14 April 2020. The proposed sequence of works is Wondai, Murgon, and then Nanango.
Further notifications to affected customers will be provided as works progress. Access to manholes on customer properties will be necessary, with contractors undertaking works with the assistance of Council staff.
COVID-19 measures, in accordance with Queensland and Federal guidelines, will be in place during the duration of the project.
Completion of works is scheduled late for late August 2020 based on the contractor production rate for liner installation, weather permitting. The completion date will however be dependent on effectivity of grinding works and removal of blockages which can only be confirmed once works begin.
Council apologises for any inconvenience that this work may cause and thanks you in advance for your patience.
