Planned works

Air scouring times

As part of our continuing program to improve the quality of your water, Westernport Water is undertaking water mains cleaning in your area. Please note that contractors H&S Maintenance who are cleaning the water mains do not necessarily have to be in your street or at your property to carry out their work. So if you do not see them, it does not mean that they are not carrying out any works.

Air scouring is a proven method of cleaning water mains and involves injecting filtered pressurised air through the pipe, removing potential build-up.

Customers in the areas directly impacted by the air scouring will be notified at least 48 hours prior to commencement of the water interruption. Impacted customers may be without
water for a few hours to enable works.

To reduce the impact on customers in the central area of Cowes we are undertaking night works from 11pm to 4am over two nights (Mon 8 – Tues 9 Nov). This includes the commercial areas of Thompson Ave, the industrial estate, Melaleuca Lodge and Banfields Aged Care.

• Cowes Central 4 – 15 Nov
• Cowes East 8 – 18 Nov 
• Cowes West 12-17 Nov
