Teesdale water main upgrade

6 August 2025

Barwon Water is upgrading the water supply network in Teesdale with the installation of a larger water pipeline between Bakers Lane and Bruce Street Teesdale. This will ensure we can continue to supply high quality, reliable drinking water services for our customers and cater for future growth.

We are entering the final commissioning stage of the project which involves the connection of the new pipeline into the existing network. During the flushing process, you may notice the presence of surface water like that of a heavy downpour of rain. This is expected and will be monitored throughout the period. These works are planned to commence on Tuesday 11th of August and will continue for approximately 1 week.

As part of this work, please note:

  • There will be some changes to traffic conditions, including reduced speed limits on Bannockburn-Shelford Road, Teesdale.
  • The walking track alongside Bannockburn-Shelford Road will also be impacted intermittently for the duration of the works.
  • Traffic management will be present on site to ensure safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
  • There may be increased noise and dust due to construction. We will work to minimise impacts to local residents.
  • If your water supply is to be impacted for a short time, you will be contacted separately.
  • We will reinstate the area upon completion of works, ensuring it is left in good condition.
  • Access to driveways and private property will be maintained. Some driveways may need to have a speed hump over a flexible pipe to allow the flow of water. We apologise for this inconvenience.

We apologise for any inconvenience. Thank you for your patience and understanding while we get this essential work done.

This project is being delivered by Barwon Asset Solutions, a company owned by Barwon Water, to deliver high quality asset maintenance and project management services.
