Water supply cut after water main bursts

Water supply was cut to properties in Woy Woy after a water main burst at the corner of Blackwall Rd and Railway St, Woy Woy, in the early hours of Thursday, March 29

"A team was immediately sent to the site to complete emergency restoration works, which required the water supply to be cut to surrounding properties," according to a statement issued by Central Coast Council general manager Mr Brian Glendenning.

"An interim water supply was made available and water was restored by approximately 7am on Friday, March 30.

"Water released by the break damaged part of Blackwall Rd and an adjacent footpath, and removed some fill material underneath a pavement.

"Council has temporarily restored the site, backfilled where possible and installed an extensive barricade to ensure the safety of residents, businesses, road users and pedestrians.

"A detailed assessment of the site has revealed that final restoration works will include the removal of damaged paving and further backfilling.

"The issue was as a result of a burst water main, which has been rectified and the majority of the site restored.

"Final restoration work will be completed as soon as possible and every effort will be made to minimise the impact on residents, businesses, road users and pedestrians," he said.

"Council assures the community that a 'sink hole' has not been created at the site."
