GREATER Western Water (GWW) has completed a major upgrade to Lancefield’s sewer network, ensuring reliable sewer services for customers well into the future.
The project involved replacing 6.5 kilometres of sewer pipes along Lancefield-Tooborac Road, Lancefield-Kilmore Road, and Racecourse Road, completed in stages over several months.
GWW General Manager for Infrastructure and Growth Ian Burton said the upgrade was necessary to improve network reliability and reduce the risk of sewage spills.
“The new sewer main provides a significant increase in capacity, ensuring our infrastructure is keeping up with future demand,” he said.
“We’d like to thank the Lancefield community for their support and understanding while we completed these essential works.
“Our consultation with local residents and businesses was especially important to help shape our planning and minimise construction impacts.”
Part of the upgrade was completed using trenchless technology, which replaces mains without major digging. This method helped reduce disruption for the community and minimise environmental impacts.
