Main drain improvements to cost $250,000

A budget allocation of $250,000 has been made by Central Coast Council to improve drainage within the upper catchment of the Everglades main drain at Woy Woy.

The funding allocation will see the removal and upgrade of one of the drainage outlets downstream of Carpenter St, according to a report from council staff to administrator Mr Ian Reynolds.

"Council has recently commenced a process of siltation removal from the existing drainage system between Lovell Rd and Carpenter St," the report said.

"This work will restore drainage capacity to the system," it said.

"Data collection and investigations into possible future drainage upgrades works in this area are continuing.

"Recommendations from drainage investigations will be used to develop council's future plan of works."
