We’re upgrading wastewater pipeline under Spur Avenue and a portion of Links Avenue in late 2026.
Why are we doing this?
Investigation has found the rising main in this area is in poor condition. Upgrading it now will reduce the risk of overflows and improve resilience of the wastewater network. These works will help ensure the system continues to support our growing city, reduce maintenance costs, and provide a reliable wastewater service for the future.
What are we doing?
- Upgrading wastewater pipeline along Spur Avenue and a portion of Links Avenue.
- Installing around 150 metres of new pipeline within the works area.
- Keeping wastewater services running as normal during construction.
- Managing dust, noise and vibration during construction.
When is the work taking place?
Ground service investigations are scheduled for mid-week during the week of 16 November. If no issues are found during the investigation, then construction will begin shortly after for a period of 4-5 weeks. It’s expected all work will be completed before Christmas.
Traffic management
During construction, temporary traffic management will be in place to support safe movement around the site. This includes a single lane at all times around the Links Avenue and Spur Avenue intersection.
Resident only access will apply to vehicles entering Spur Avenue from Maunganui Road.
