As part of Central Coast Council’s commitment towards maintaining quality water and sewer infrastructure across the Central Coast, Council is preparing to replace the sewer rising main on The Entrance Road, Wamberal. 

Gongues Constructions were successful in being awarded the tender for the works and will be working along the eastern boundary of The Entrance Road between Crystal Street and Tumbi Road roundabout.  

Director for Water and Sewer, Jamie Loader said the works commenced late June and will take approximately four months to complete – weather permitting.

“We have worked closely with Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and Gongues Constructions to ensure that any works that might impact the flow of traffic along The Entrance Road are undertaken outside of key busy traffic periods. 

“Measures are in place to minimise disruption over the course of these upgrades. We appreciate the community’s patience while we undertake these essential sewer upgrades, delivering a more reliable sewer network for the Wamberal and surrounding community.”

The community is being asked to do their bit at home and only flush the Three P’s – Poo, Pee and Toilet Paper. 

“Every year water utilities, including Central Coast Council, remove hundreds of sewerage system blockages across the network that are caused by wipes and other rubbish that has been flushed down the toilet. The build-up can cause significant damage to household pipes and lead to overflows in our natural environment,” Mr Loader said. 

Central Coast Council Administrator, Rik Hart thanked the community for their patience over the course of the replacement works. 

“These upgrades are essential as we prepare for expected growth across the region.

“The works Council is undertaking now will ensure a more reliable sewer service for the local community for years to come,” Mr Hart said.
