Work to extend water dead-ends into the main network

Central Coast Council set to start work on a water mains maintenance program on the Peninsula.

A number of dead-ends in the water supply network will be extended to connect into the main network, designed to ensure continued high-quality water to the area.

Council director Mr Jamie Loader said Council actively monitored and tested the effectiveness of the Coast's water quality and extending dead-end water mains was a priority.

"The Peninsula has a greater risk of low circulating water due to the large number of dead-end networks," Mr Loader said.

"We have flushed the mains, identified 11 sections of dead-ends that we are extending to connect into the main network and will soon eliminate these remaining dead-ends to ensure continued high-quality water to the community."

"Our goal remains to improve the integrity of the water infrastructure in the local community and regular maintenance helps us achieve this."

He said work would take place every day from November 21 to December 9, except on Sundays, between 8am and 5pm and will not disrupt the water supply.

Resident might notice a drop in water pressure, discoloured water or a slight chlorine odour and taste after the mains are flushed.

If residents experience discoloured water, run the front garden tap into a bucket for 30 seconds to check if the water clears, he advised.

Water will usually clear but, if not, wait one hour and repeat the process.

Once water from the front tap is clear, residents need to run their back garden tap into a bucket for 30 seconds to ensure there is no discoloured water in their pipes.

This water can then be used on the garden.

If water is still discoloured after one hour contact Council on 1300 463 954.

If water becomes discoloured during a washing cycle, it is advised to leave clothes wet and rewash them after the water clears to minimise the risk of staining.
