Sewer Maintenance Activities

Each year Council engages contractors to clean and inspect the sewer mains in and around the Mount Barker district. This work is performed as regular maintenance on the sewer reticulation network to minimise the risk of overflows due to blockages or damaged pipes.

Should access be required to individual properties, the contractor will be in contact with the property owner to discuss assess requirements.

To ensure the safety of workers and road users traffic restrictions will be in place while this work is carried out and some of this work will be performed after hours to minimise the impact on traffic flows.

Your patience and understanding while sewer maintenance is carried out is appreciated as is your cooperation with all traffic and pedestrian control signage.
