Cessnock trunk water main upgrade
The Cessnock region is one of the Hunter’s major growth areas. By 2030, it is expected that there will be an additional 5,800 residential and business connections to the water supply network.
To help cater for this growth, we will be delivering a multi-stage package of water network upgrades in Cessnock over the next four years. These upgrades will also improve water supply for customers who sometimes experience low water pressure and reduce the risk of major water supply interruptions.
The first stage of this upgrade is building a new watermain in Cessnock, between the Maitland Road and David Street intersection through to Westcott Street, with additional works from Westcott Street still to be confirmed. The reservoir on Millfield Street will also be demolished as part of the project.
