Tingalpa Water Main Burst Leaves Giant Hole on Wynnum Road as Repairs Continue Into Tuesday

Tingalpa State School stays open using temporary facilities.

Overview

  • Urban Utilities reports about 45 properties without water on Tuesday morning.
  • Crews expect to work through Tuesday afternoon on the complex pipe repair before road restoration begins.
  • Tingalpa State School remains open with portable toilets, tank-fed facilities and bottled water, despite earlier P&C advice to keep children home where possible.
  • Eastbound traffic is diverted between Boundary Street and Hamilton Street with police directing vehicles, and a separate truck striking powerlines added to delays.
  • The cause is under investigation, with rainfall or temperature-driven ground movement cited as possible factors, and water is being diverted from other parts of the network to reduce impacts.
