Central Coast Council is preparing to replace the sewer rising main on The Entrance Road at Wamberal.
Gongues Constructions was successful in being awarded the tender for the works and will be working along the eastern boundary of The Entrance Rd between Crystal St and Tumbi Rd roundabout.
Water and Sewer director Jamie Loader said the work had started in late June and will take approximately four months to complete, weather permitting.
“We have worked closely with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and Gongues Constructions to ensure that any works that might impact the flow of traffic along The Entrance Road are undertaken outside of key busy traffic periods,” Loader said.
“Measures are in place to minimise disruption over the course of these upgrades.
“We appreciate the community’s patience while we undertake these essential sewer upgrades, delivering a more reliable sewer network for the Wamberal and surrounding community.”
The community is being asked to do their bit at home and only flush the Three P’s – Poo, Pee and Toilet Paper.
“Every year water utilities, including Central Coast Council, remove hundreds of sewerage system blockages across the network that are caused by wipes and other rubbish that has been flushed down the toilet,” Loader said.
“The build-up can cause significant damage to household pipes and lead to overflows in our natural environment.”
