The first stage of a Horsham Sewer Main Upgrade Project between the Spry Court Pump Station and Plumpton Road, Horsham is scheduled to be completed between October to December 2022.
The Spry Court Sewer Rising Main is a critical link in the Horsham sewer network. The main connects pump stations on both sides of the Wimmera River to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
All works will be completed on public land and will not require access to private property. Customers are not expected to experience any change to water or wastewater services as a result of the work.
This upgrade will improve the resilience of Horsham’s wastewater network and ensure that reliable wastewater services can continue to be supplied to Horsham’s growing population.
