Planned maintenance works - Huntly
- Huntly
We are completing cleaning and maintenance works on the Epsom Huntly Pipeline from Monday 20 October to Thursday 23 October between 8am and 4pm.
Works will happen near the intersection of Rennie Street and Gungurru Road in Huntly.
The cleaning works will involve a deep clean of this section of the pipeline to remove sediment. This cleaning in response to the water discolouration experienced by some Huntly customers in February 2025.
There will be no interruption to your water supply.
Some traffic management will be in place near points where crews are working.
We thank you for your patience during these works.
