North Western Sewer Emergency Relief Structure
The Pipelines Alliance on behalf of Melbourne Water will begin construction of the North Western Sewer Emergency Relief Structure (ERS) in November 2009.
The ERS is an essential service which helps prevent sewage spills occurring and protects the sewer system from serious damage, particularly during storm events.
It will be constructed on the north bank of the Maribyrnong River in the Afton Street Reserve and construction is expected to take approximately four months to complete.
We have been working closely with Moonee Valley Council and the Friends of Maribyrnong Valley in the design of this project. This cooperation will ensure that the outlet is consistent with Council’s Master Plan for the reserve and plans for a wetland area near the site of the ERS.
