Water mains cleaning - Epsom and Huntly

We are completing cleaning on the Epsom Huntly Pipeline from 20 November between 7am and 5.30pm each day.
Works will happen on Station Street between Howard Street and Airey Street, and Rennie Street from Airey Street to Gungurru Road.
These cleaning works involve swabbing which is a process where a dense foam cylinder swab is pushed through the pipeline using water pressure. This is further works required to remove sediment from the pipeline.
In preparation the following is required:
- From Thursday 13 November a temporary work site will be setup close to the corner of Tobin Crescent and Station Street, Epsom, near the bus shelter.
- From Monday 17 November excavation works will commence at Ironstone Road & Station Street, followed by Howard Street & Station Street (Tuesday 18 November), Jones Road & Station Street (Wednesday 19 November), and Gungurru Road & Rennie Street (Thursday 20 November).
Some traffic management will be in place near points where crews are working.

Planned water main shutdown – Kyneton
- Kyneton
We will be testing the water pressure in Harpers Lane and Kyneton-Springhill Road near the Tilwinda Views estate in Kyneton on Thursday 13 November.
We will be on site between 10.30am to 1pm. During the testing some customers may experience intermittent water outages or low pressure for up to one hour. Impacted customers will be notified.
This is further testing is in response to booster pumps failing when water carters draw water from fire hydrants too quickly.
A booster pump station helps push water through the network to customers. When it fails it results in low water pressure for customers.
To test the booster pump, we will mimic a water carter taking water from a hydrant at various pressures – much like a CFA tanker would in an emergency.
Some traffic management will be in place near points where crews are working.
