Sydney Water is renewing sections of water mains along Gladstone Avenue and Kenny Street, Wollongong starting in June.

The work involves:

• digging into the footpath and roadway
• disconnecting the existing water main
• laying and connecting a new water main.

There may be interruption to water supply to local homes and businesses during the work program.  Sydney Water will notify affected homes and businesses prior to the water supply being interrupted.

Work hours will generally begin 7am and finish by 6pm on a daily basis with no work planned for Sundays at this stage.  There may be additional night works required and notification will be provided prior to such work taking place.
