en.Wedoany.com Reported - Wannon Water has completed the replacement of a section of pressure sewer main in Portland, Victoria, aimed at improving the reliability of the town's sewer network and reducing the risk of future failures.

Sarah van Rooy, Manager of Asset Systems at Wannon Water, stated that the new infrastructure will help mitigate long-term failure risks, and the company will continue to cooperate with the Environment Protection Authority regarding asset failures that occurred in 2023.

This sewer main is a critical component of Portland's sewer network, responsible for conveying wastewater from households, businesses, and industrial users to the town's wastewater treatment plant. Van Rooy noted that it is a major pipeline carrying nearly all of Portland's sewage flow.

The project is part of Wannon Water's broader asset management plan in southwestern Victoria. The utility currently maintains over 3,000 kilometers of water and sewer mains.

Van Rooy also reminded users to avoid flushing inappropriate items such as wipes, cotton swabs, sanitary products, grease, and oil down the drain, emphasizing that these items should be disposed of in the trash to prevent blockages in the sewer network and household pipes.
