Clyde Street Sewer Project
To ensure the reliability of our sewerage network, we rehabilitated existing sewers in Surrey Hills.
Project history
This project commenced in 2021. The first part of these works involved construction of a new sewer main within Wharton and Clyde streets and under the pavement along Whitehorse Road, Surrey Hills. We completed these works in July 2021.
In February 2022 we commenced work on the second part of the project. This involved rehabilitating the existing sewer with a technique called slip lining within private properties.
Unforeseen ground conditions meant a pause to the project at that time and we’ve since been working on a long-term solution that will involve completing the works in 2 separate stages.
A combination of wet weather, site challenges and resources have prevented us from completing the entire project in 2022. By December, we completed most of the first part of our works.

Stage 1 construction complete
Thank you for your patience while we completed Stage 1 of the Clyde Street Sewer Project.
After building the pipeline and maintenance holes, we completed a series of tests before commissioning the new sewer. It’s now operational and linked to our broader sewerage network.
Stage 2 work will need us to access to private property, and we’ve contacted residents who will be impacted by our work.
What we did
Using laser-guided micro-tunnelling equipment, we installed pipes in Clyde Street, Whitehorse Road and Wharton Street.
We built deep launch and retrieval shafts - and constructed new maintenance holes that will be used by our operations and maintenance teams.
Given the depth and size of the shafts, Clyde Street and Wharton Street were closed to traffic.
Construction started in mid-March and was completed by mid-July. Commissioning was completed in late July 2021.
There was no interruption to your water and sewerage services during our work.

In March 2021, our project partner MFJ Construction started work on the Clyde Street Sewer Project. The new sewerage pipes are now in place and we’re more than halfway to completing the project. We expect to complete Stage 1 works by early July 2021.

STAGE 1 CONSTRUCTION WORK HAS STARTED
In March, MFJ Constructions started on the Clyde Street Sewer Project. Our new sewer will be constructed in sections – starting in Clyde Street, then working along Whitehorse Road and into Wharton Street, Surrey Hills. This project is expected to take six months to complete, subject to weather and ground conditions.
February 2021
We're replacing a section of the sewerage network in Surrey
Hills. While the existing sewerage system continues to function,
our Clyde Street Sewer Project will provide a long-term solution
for ensuring reliability in your area.
