Coromandel Place emergency works
October 2026
What we're doing
Following flooding at our Coromandel Place substation caused by a SA Water owned burst water main in Grenfell Street, we are continuing essential works in and around Coromandel Place Substation, between Grenfell Street and Pirie Street.
When we'll be working
We expect the works to continue over the next 12 months as our crews undertake significant repairs and reliability improvements.
During the works, there may be temporary changes to traffic and access.
How this affects you
Traffic management will be in place around the work area. Pedestrian and vehicle access on Coromandel Place will be temporarily restricted, with clearly marked detours in place.
Access to businesses will be maintained throughout the works. We will contact businesses and residents directly adjacent to the worksite in advance to discuss any specific access needs or concerns.
