A program of water main replacements in Kingaroy during the next two months will cause disruptions to water supply and property access for some residents.
South Burnett Regional Council has hired Roman Contractors to replace water mains in:
- Youngman Street (Haly to Avoca Street)
- Youngman Street (Venman Street to Banksia Drive)
- Toomey Street (Youngman to William Street)
- Burnett Street (Haly to Alford Street)
- Knight Street (Walter Road to Hodge Street)
- West Street (Haly Street to Kurtellan Crescent)
Work has already begun in West Street.
A Council spokesperson said work Burnett Street was expected to begin next Monday (September 9).
The water main replacements in Youngman and Toomey streets will occur in early October.
“In order to provide a safe work environment, parking in Youngman Street during the main replacement works will be restricted and lane closures are likely as the new infrastructure is installed,” the spokesperson said.
“Access to properties will also be affected for short periods as installation occurs.
“Due to the complexity of the main replacements in both sections of Youngman Street, Council will be undertaking consultation with customers directly affected by the works, including property access, parking arrangements and interruptions to water supply.
“Contact will be made with customers individually in the week commencing September 16 to discuss and determine arrangements to minimise disruptions.
“Earlier preparation works will be required in some areas to improve the system’s valves and to minimise interruptions to supply. Affected properties will be notified directly prior to these works occurring.
“Council apologises for any inconvenience that this work may cause and thanks you in advance for your patience.
“Please direct any enquiries to Council’s Water and Wastewater section by phoning (07) 4189-9100 or by email”
