Water mains will be renewed using a boring machine as pictured. The Esplanade at Ventnor will be the first site renewed, starting in mid to late April 2025.
Westernport Water is replacing ageing water mains, in a move it says will help to "maintain reliable water supply for the community".
The organisation said the $1 million-dollar renewal program is part of its broader investment in water infrastructure to enhance network resilience to meet current and future demand.
"By replacing ageing pipes, we are future-proofing the network against leaks, bursts, and water quality issues," Managing Director Westernport Water, Dona Tantirimudalige said.
"Upgrades from this program of works will reduce future maintenance costs, enhance reliability and minimise unplanned disruptions for the community."
Five sites across Ventnor, Sunderland Bay, Surf Beach and Newhaven will be upgraded over a three-year period, starting in mid to late April 2025.
Westernport Water said there may be brief water supply interruptions required when water mains are being replaced.
Affected customers will be provided advance notice prior to the commencement of work.
Following an open public tender process, Westernport Water said the program of work was awarded to an experienced contractor, Jaco Trenching & Boring Pty Ltd.
