The work will result in the disruption of the water supply in Maitland on Wednesday, 18 November 2020 from 19:00 until 02:00 on Thursday, 19 November 2020. The supply will also be disrupted in Montague Gardens on Thursday, 19 November 2020 from 19:00 until 02:00 on Friday, 20 November 2020. 

Residents are advised to store water in clean, sealed containers for use during this period. 

Residents are also advised to make sure that their taps are closed during this period to avoid water loss or damage when the water supply is restored. 

Zero pressure tests are part of the City’s rollout of pressure management infrastructure, which allows the City to reduce pressure fluctuations in the network that create stress on pipes over time. This reduces the likelihood of leaks and bursts. The test is done to determine if there are any unmapped inflows into an area, to inform the calibration of a pressure reducing valve, which will be installed at a later date. 

The City regrets any inconvenience caused, however this work is necessary to ensure water supply remains reliable.
