Urgent Commissioner Street water repairs start next week in Cooma

Published on 17 July 2024

Snowy Monaro Regional Council will carry out essential water infrastructure repairs on Commissioner Street in Cooma, starting Monday 22 July 2024.

A water service line in the street failed late last week and needs to be repaired as soon as possible. Our team quickly restored water supply to affected businesses with a temporary repair, but a permanent fix is required.

These repairs require digging up a small section of Commissioner Street between Bombala Street and Cooma Creek to install the replacement service line and connect it to the water main.

Council has scheduled work to begin at the soonest date possible, in order to minimise the impact on local businesses whose water supply is affected.

Our water and roads teams are working closely together to ensure the quality of the Commissioner Street road surface is not affected by this work. The small sections that need to be excavated for these repairs will be fully restored once work is complete.

Work gets underway from Monday 22 July 2024.

Road users and pedestrians are asked to avoid the section of Commissioner Street between Bombala Street and Baron Street where possible, while repairs are in progress.

If travelling through the area, please follow the direction of roadworks signage, traffic control measures, and the direction of workers on site.

For more information about these essential repairs, please contact Council by email at council@snowymonaro.nsw.gov.au or call us on 1300 345 345.
