We are pleased to advise that all of the new water main along Somerville Road has been installed and commissioned, with all property and fire services transferred and now fed from the new water main.

Our crews have reinstated the road surface along Somerville Road, returning the area to its previous condition prior to the water main renewal.

What works have taken place so far?

• We have installed the final length of water main along Somerville Road.

• We have commissioned the entire water main with all services transferred to the new water main.

• We have resheeted and marked the entire length of one westbound lane along Somerville Road between Tottenham Parade and Alick Road.

• We have removed our site compound at Holmwood Road.

Over the last 4 months, works have been paused on Somerville Road while we were in negotiations with other utility authorities about the crossing of the final underground asset with our water main.

Now that we have agreement on the installation, our crews returned to Somerville Road to complete the final installation on Sunday 27 May at night.

What can you expect in the coming weeks?

• Works will be carried out at night from Sunday to Thursday, between 9pm and 5am.

• We will be returning to lay the final length of water main near the intersection of Somerville Road and Alick Road, Tottenham.

• We will need to transfer property services over to the new main once the remaining works are complete. We will be in contact with impacted customers in advance of the transfer.

• A section of Somerville Road was resheeted in December 2023. The remaining section of roadway will be reinstated in June 2024 once the water main has been commissioned and all property services transferred.

After a much needed break our crews will restart work in 2024 on the week starting Monday 22 January and will be continuing works at night.

What can you expect when we return to site?

• Works will be carried out at night Sunday to Thursday, 9pm to 5am.

• We will be returning to lay the final lengths of water main near the intersection of Somerville Road and Alick Road, Tottenham.

• We will need to transfer property services over to the new main once the remaining works are complete. We will be in contact with impacted customers in advance of the transfer.

• A section of Somerville Road was resheeted in December 2023. The remaining section of roadway will be reinstated in February 2024 once the works are complete.

Works are progressing well. Our crews are up to the final section of water main at the intersection of Somerville Road and Alick Road.

Night works will continue into December until the new water main has been fully installed.

What works will be carried out during December?

• Road resheeting along Somerville Road (starting from Tottenham Parade and moving west) has been pushed back and will now commence in the week starting Sunday 3 December.

• Works will be carried out Sunday to Thursday, 7pm to 5am.

• The water main installation along Somerville Road up to the intersection at Alick Road will continue.

• Works will be carried out Sunday to Thursday, 7pm to 5am.

We have continued making progress with laying the new water main moving west along Somerville Road.

In October we commissioned a section of the water main along Somerville Road (between Victoria Drive and Tottenham Parade) and connected all property services along this section to the new main.

As we approach the final stretch of the project, there will be a return to night works in order to deliver the works with minimal disruption to traffic and customers in the area.

These will include:

• Road resheeting along Somerville Road between Victoria Drive and Tottenham Parade, commencing on the week starting the evening of Sunday 29 October until the morning of Friday 10 November. Works will be conducted Sunday to Thursday, 7pm to 5am.

• Water main installation along Somerville Road between the Newport-Sunshine railway line and Alick Road, commencing on the week starting the evening of Sunday 19 November until the morning of Thursday 21 November. Works will be conducted Sunday to Thursday, 7pm to 5am.

Our crew is currently located near 433 Somerville Road, where they're continuing to install the water main towards Alick Road.

We've had some project milestones over the last month including:

• August 2023 - Night works were completed
• Early October 2023 - The section of water main on Somerville Road between Tottenham Parade and Holmwood Road was commissioned, with all fire services and domestic service connections transferred to the new main

We now expect to complete Stage 2 of works in November 2023 with final reinstatement to follow in December. Unfortunately some previously undetected sections of hard rock have slowed our progress, but we thank you for your patience while we carry out this work.

We are currently working during the day and night to renew the water main along Somerville Road.

Night works: Unfortunately previously undetected sections of hard rock have slowed our progress, and these works are expected to be completed around mid-August.

Day works: Works are progressed well and continuing towards Alick Road throughout August.

Crews have been working at night to install the new water main along Somerville Road between Tottenham Parade and Holmwood Road. We will continue working on this alignment for the rest of the month.

Day works will start the week of Monday 03 July between 7am and 5pm at the intersection of Somerville Road and Holmwood Road, and then move west towards Alick Road and the Newport-Sunshine railway line. Access around the work site will be supported by traffic management.

The water main renewal on Holmwood Road is complete, all customers have been transferred to the new service and the road and all driveways have been reinstated.

In order to fast-track our works we will have two crews working around the clock through June and July:

• Night works will start from Tuesday 13 June. These works are expected to take 5-6 weeks and include the following areas:
  • Intersection of Somerville Road and Holmwood Road

• Intersection of Somerville Road and Tottenham Parade

• The westbound lane of Somerville Road between Holmwood Road and Tottenham Parade
• Day works will be carried out from the week of Monday 3 July between 7am and 5pm until the project is complete.
  • These works will start at the intersection of Sommerville Road and Holmwood Road, and then move west towards Alick Road and the Newport-Sunshine railway line. Access around the work site will be supported by traffic management.

Traffic management will be on site for both day and night works to help you access your community.

We have now installed and commissioned the new water main on Holmwood Road and all fire and water services will be transferred to the new water main before the end of May.

Works to return the road and driveways to their original state will be finished by early June.

Night works at the intersection of Somerville Road and Holmwood Road have been pushed back to the week of Monday 12 June and will take around 5-6 weeks to complete. Affected areas include:

• Intersection of Somerville Road and Holmwood Road
• Intersection of Somerville Road and Tottenham Parade
• Westbound lane of Somerville Road between Holmwood Road and Tottenham Parade

We'll give you at least 5 business days' notice if you will be impacted by these works.

After a pause in March detailed in our last project update, we can now return to Holmwood Road, with works expected to recommence the week starting Monday 24 April.

There will be night works as part of Stage 1a beginning the first or second week of May at the following locations:

• Intersection of Somerville Road and Holmwood Road
• Intersection of Somerville Road and Tottenham Place
• The westbound lane of Somerville Road between Holmwood Road and Tottenham Place

Impacted customers will be given at least 1 week's notice in writing before night works start.

We began Stage 1 works on Holmwood Road in late February and over half of that section has now been completed.

Due to unforeseen circumstances we have paused works temporarily and will return to site around mid-May. We have made the road and footpaths safe for vehicle access. There will not be any ongoing impact to your water supply.

We will notify you with additional information ahead of works recommencing, including a new timeline for Stage 1 and 1a works.

Stage 1 works are in progress along Holmwood Road and are scheduled to be completed by April 2023. Traffic flow along Holmwood Road will be maintained at all times.

Once this work is complete we'll commission the new water main and transfer services to the new pipe.

Stage 1a of the project will start around mid April. We'll be doing some night works at major intersections along Somerville Road, Holmwood Road and Tottenham Parade.

Customers in the area will be notified in early April ahead of these works.

Works will begin during the week of 30 January 2023, and will take around 20 to 25 weeks to complete.

The project will be carried out in two stages:

Stage 1: We will be working along Holmwood Road for 6 to 9 weeks between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Stage 1a: We will be working at night at the intersection of Holmwood Road and Somerville Road for 1 to 2 weeks. These works are currently planned for delivery between 7pm and 5am and will be confirmed closer to the date.

Stage 2: The final stage of the project will see us working along Somerville Road between the Newport to Sunshine railway line and Tottenham Parade between 7am and 5pm for 10 to 13 weeks.

Further project update notices will be distributed to keep you informed over the course of the project.

We will return to the area to reinstate the roads and footpaths within 3 weeks of each stage’s completion. This work will take 3 to 4 days at each site.
