As part of our commitment to ensuring a safe and reliable water supply for South East Queensland, we are planning two valve replacements along the bulk water supply pipeline at Tarragindi Reservoir. 

These works will include the replacement of two valves either side of the water inlet pipeline to reservoirs in Tarragindi which supply water to parts of south and east Brisbane. (See map). These works will significantly enhance the long-term reliability of the area’s water supply network.

What to expect

First valve replacement

• Preparation of the first valve site during daytime from 7am to 5pm from Monday, 1 July to Friday, 12 July 2024
• Isolation of the water main from 8pm on Friday, 19 July until 6am on Saturday 20 July 2024
• Replacement of first valve between 6am and 8pm on Saturday, 20 July 2024 (subject to weather and site conditions).
• Demobilisation of the first valve site during daytime between 7am to 5pm from Monday, 22 July 2024.

Second valve replacement

• Preparation of the second valve site during daytime from 7am to 5pm from Wednesday, 17 July to Thursday, 1 August 2024. Due to the location of the valve, Seqwater will be required to prune or remove some trees to provide safe access and working environment during this period

General information

• During these periods, you may notice a slight increase in worker traffic accessing the reservoir works area and occasional construction noise in the immediate vicinity including pipe cutting and reversing signals from machinery. Seqwater and its contractors will take all possible measures to keep the impact at minimum level as much as possible.
• These works may affect your water pressure however will not impact your water supply.
