Mine Water Undermining Warehouse

May 12, 2023

Mine water from abandoned mines is destroying our buildings.

Mine water is flowing permanently from abandoned mine workings that are located under the footpath and Maitland Road. The mine water runs into catchment pits we have created, and then this water is pumped into the drains. The mine water you see in this video is water we cannot catch and is sitting under the concrete slab and “seeping” out of the expansion joints.

We have 8 locations the mine water is running into our warehouse property.
