Water leak under the intersection of Ainsworth and State Highway 2
There is a water leak under the highway at the intersection of Ainsworth and State Highway 2. The leaking pipe is a bulk pipe that links our reservoirs in the Central zone - in short, our ability to fill up our reservoirs is impacted.
We started preparatory work last night to get a temporary pipe installed and will hopefully get that done today. We will also be installing a permanent pipe over the next week.
There might be some delays on the Highway and lower water pressures in some areas. We are putting in temporary pipes to maintain the supply however in order for us to do that we have to shut them off for periods of time. If you live along Ainsworth Road and around the Snodgrass area, you will be without water today as change over to the temporary pipe and then again when we change over to the permanent pipe.
We apologise for the inconvenience, we're working as fast as we can to get this sorted.
