Urgent sewer renewal work will begin in the Birch Street cul-de-sac and Lower Napier Road area on Thursday, November 19.
Due to the age and condition of the network, council will be relining two sewer pipes and recoating two manholes between Thursday, November 19 and Tuesday, December 1.
Some of this work will take place overnight, as the materials being used need time to set and this can only be done when the least flow is in the system. This will take place over two nights on Sunday, November 22 and Monday, November 23.
There will be limited access to some properties and disruption in the area while this work is taking place. This includes noise from the works overnight. We apologise for this and will be doing our best to minimise the impact to households as much as possible.
Immediately affected residents have been notified the work is taking place.
