Waikōwhai water pump station and watermains
Upgrades are required to cater for development in the Waikōwhai/Mt Roskill area.
Duration
Pump station (March 2023 – March 2024) and watermain (early 2025)
Location
Mt Roskill
Status
Construction
The latest
We have finished laying the watermain and will return in March to complete the pipeline connections into the networks. This work will take approximately four months and involve less traffic management than our watermain construction.
Project overview
We are undertaking upgrades to the water network to cater for current and future development along with population growth. The current water network cannot cater for any further growth in the Waikōwhai/Mt Roskill area. These works are supporting Kāinga Ora housing development.
The proposal
- Approximately 5,750 metres of watermains will be constructed, ranging in diameter from 300mm to 450mm. It is estimated the construction of the watermains will take approximately 18 months to complete
- One new bulk supply point
- A new booster pump station at 1374 Dominion Road (adjacent to the Akarana Golf Club) to replace the existing Hillsborough Pump Station
Completed sections of work
As you can see from the map below, we have now finished laying the watermain. We will shortly be returning to complete our final connections/commissioning work.
Connection works from March to mid year
Our connections/commissioning works will be delivered from March through to mid year. This will involve less traffic management set-up than our watermain construction. These connections are our final piece of work for the Waikōwhai watermains project. Please keep an eye on this page over coming weeks for more information.
