We’re doing a series of water and wastewater upgrades on Jickell, Hardie and Collingwood Streets.
This involves upgrading the size of these older pipes. Work is expected to continue until late-August, weather dependent. Additional work is also planned next financial year, although the exact timing for this has not yet been confirmed.
Water main upgrade on Jickell Street
The first stage of work involves upgrading the water main along the full length of Jickell Street, between Te Awe Awe Street and Centennial Drive.
To complete this 850-metre section as quickly as possible, we have two construction crews working at the same time. They will start in the middle of Jickell Street and work in opposite directions toward Te Awe Awe Street and Centennial Drive.
Working hours will generally be between 7am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, but will vary each day based on the section of work at that specific time.
During working hours, Jickell Street will operate under one-lane, with speed restrictions in place. Please take extra care when travelling through the area and follow any signage.
Wastewater upgrades on Hardie and Collingwood Streets
At the same time, we’ll also be starting upgrades on the wastewater network on:
- Hardie Street, from Jickell Street to Collingwood Street
- Collingwood Street, from Collingwood Court to Hardie Street
The first stage over the coming weeks includes upgrading the wastewater lateral connections that run from the main pipe to each property boundary. Roads will remain open, but reduced speed limits will be in place. There will be shoulder closures in the areas where crews are working on property connections.
We’ll return at a later date, still to be confirmed, to upgrade the wastewater main that sits in the middle of the road.
