NSW: Homes "jumping" and damaged with desalination works

The state government admits frustrated residents living near the site of Sydney's planned
desalination plant are in for at least another week of earth-moving disturbance.

ROS LONG's two-storey house is one of two closest to the site at Kurnell in Sydney's south.

She says she's noticed fresh damage to her property since test drilling work began
on Monday .. and fears further works will destroy her home.

The disruption's being caused as workers pile-drive posts to support an 18-metre deep
pit where the plant's machinery will be located.

But Sydney Water says the construction works aren't capable of causing damage to homes.
