Central Coast Council to start work in March on $61-million Mardi-to-Warnervale pipeline

The 9km pipeline will boost water supply to the Central Coast's rapidly growing northern suburbs.

It would also improve water security for the entire region, mayor Lisa Matthews said.

"The Coast's population is on the rise, especially in our northern areas and this pipeline will ensure these areas have a safe and secure water supply into the future," Cr Matthews said.

"The pipeline will also enhance the water transfer capability between Central Coast Council and Hunter Water."

Council's water and sewer director, Jamie Loader, said he was excited about the project kicking off this month.

The start of work would mark the culmination of an extensive period of planning, design and community consultation, he said.

"The pipeline route will pass through several different environments including rural land holdings, the outer edge of the residential area of Watanobbi, and along the fringes of the environmentally sensitive council lands of Porters Creek wetland," he said.

"Council has spent a lot of time getting the construction techniques and the pipeline route right, talking with the community about the project, ensuring we consider impacts on residents, the environment and the broader community."
