Korumburra water mains renewal

Wednesday, August 7th, 2024

South Gippsland Water is renewing the mains water system in Commercial Street, Korumburra.

Construction is taking place over seven stages and is expected to be complete mid November 2024.

Most of the work is being carried out between 6pm and 6am to minimise disruption. However, on occasion, crews may need to work outside these hours for safety, technical or permit reasons.

We will provide some properties with a temporary water supply during the works to ensure residents and businesses will still have access to water. However, while we install the temporary water supply to your property, you may lose water for up to 10 minutes. Our team will notify you directly before this occurs.

Once connected to the temporary water supply, people might notice a small pipe running along the front of their property into their water meter. Water from the temporary supply is the same as normal, though people might notice a slight drop in pressure.

If you have any issues with the temporary water supply, please contact South Gippsland Water Project Manager, Tim Butler, immediately on 0438520106. Don’t try to change, move or disconnect the temporary supply yourself.

Once finished, we’ll reconnect you to the new water main and remove our temporary supply.

We’d like to thank the Korumburra community for their patience and cooperation while we get the job done. People might not notice a lot of the work we do because most of it is beneath their feet, but projects like this one means we can keep your fresh, clean water supplied and flowing at a level that meets your needs.
