Our team have been hard at work replacing the fragile wastewater pipe after it burst in July this year.

So far our crews have laid 200m of new pipe as we work to replace the 1km section of fragile pipe between the Whitford Brown interchange and Paremata.
This work is the first phase of a staged approach to upgrade the wastewater main from Paremata to Porirua (4.5km), which is essential for future growth in the area.

You may notice shoulder closures and temporary barriers in place to protect the worksite, but we won’t need to close any lanes during the construction of the pipe.

We will need to manage traffic for short periods as we transport equipment to the site, but we will do our best to keep any disruption to a minimum.
