Water main renewals

Water renewals

You might not notice a lot of the work we do because most of it is beneath your feet. Every day, we’re maintaining and upgrading the pipes and pumps that keep water flowing. 

Here’s what to expect while we get the job done.

What we’re doing

Our infrastructure renewal program involves replacing, maintaining and upgrading the existing water and sewerage infrastructure above and below the ground, so you can always rely on us when you need a drink, a bath, to wash the clothes or dishes and every time you flush or send water down the drain.

We work with our industry partners ABK (Abergeldie, BMD & KBR) and BFHI (Beca, Fulton Hogan and Interflow) to help us with water renewals.

What might impact you

We’ll do our best to keep impacts to a minimum, however these are the kinds of things you might notice while we work:

• More trucks on the streets around you.
• Lights if we work at night.
• Fewer car parks around the work zones.
• Noise from machinery, like beepers when trucks reverse.
• A change in normal traffic flow.
• Our traffic management team will be around to make sure people, bikes and cars can move around safely.
