Victor Harbor wastewater upgrade

We will soon be installing approximately 820 metres of new wastewater main in Waitpinga Road and Bay Road at Encounter Bay. This work will support the new Seascape housing development on Waitpinga Road and service nearby vacant land when it is developed in future.

Works will involve careful excavation, within a tight work area, of trenches up to 4.5 metres deep. For the protection of our crew and the community Waitpinga Road, between Whalers Road and Tabernacle Road, will be closed during construction hours.
