Wallan Sewer Project

We’ve started constructing a new sewer pipeline in Wallan to improve the reliability of our network and increase capacity to meet future demand in this fast-growing area. 

Our project partner, Jaydo, started installing pipes under the Watson Street on-ramp to the Hume Freeway in November 2025. We expect to complete this short section of the project in mid-December.

What's involved

Our project will be completed in stages - Part A and Part B.

  • Part A includes micro-tunnelling under Watson Street and installing pipes in an open-cut trench within the road reserve and private properties to Butler Court. See the map, Part A1 and Part A2. We started this work in November 2025 and expect to be completed by March 2026.

  • Part B involves constructing the new sewer pump station at Mittagong Creek and a new sewer pipeline to our new pipe at Watson Street, using open-cut trenching. This work is planned to begin in the July 2026, when our designs and plans have been completed. 

Once our work has been completed, we’ll decommission our existing, aged assets.
