In line with the Easter holidays Council is working on upgrading 655 meters of sewerage system running underground near Proserpine State High School
Smart planning from Council allows them to work in the school grounds during the Easter break.
The project kicked off last week with the underbore under Renwick Road.
This project has several critical time components to ensure minimal disruption to the two school properties and to the Renwick Road drainage works being undertaken by the internal roads and drainage delivery team.
Early and consistent stakeholder engagement has been a crucial aspect of this project and will continue to be a major focus as work continues through the school grounds over the Easter Break.
Upgrading the existing sewer rising main will eliminate the capacity constraint at this pump station to minimise the risk of sewage overflow and support the future growth of the area.
The upgrade spans from the Renwick Road Sewage Pump Station on Chapman Street to Marathon Street in Proserpine.
The project has an estimated total cost of $885,000 and is expected to be completed in May 2024.
