UPDATE: Dixon Street/Willis Street sewer leak
On Saturday we contained the sewer leak by diverting it out of the stormwater network back into the wastewater network. We are awaiting test results on the harbour quality, and will share an update as soon as these are received.
Crews are continuing works to investigate and repair the leak which is expected to continue throughout this week, with the potential to continue into next week depending on investigations.
We will share an update on the expected time frame around the works on Friday 29 November.
Please follow the stop/go traffic management, or avoid this route if possible.
