Stormwater and waterway projects

Improvement work on stormwater network and waterways

We regularly carry out improvement work on our region's stormwater network and waterways.

These projects aim to:

manage stormwater flow
minimise flood risks
reduce pollution
prevent contamination in our waterways
improve water quality.

The work may involve:

increasing the capacity of the stormwater network
installing pipes
replacing concrete channels with naturalised streams.

Work hours and disruption

Work hours are usually from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday.
We will notify affected residents if we need to work outside these hours.
We aim to keep noise within regulations.
We manage traffic onsite to help motorists through road closures and reduced access.
