About the project:
This is a massive year-long project to upgrade and reroute the wastewater pipes from the Kahika Rd pumpstation, along Kaipatiki Road and up Easton Park Parade. It will then connect to the existing wastewater line to carry sewage through to the Rosedale wastewater treatment plant.
The new 2 kilometre-long pipe will increase capacity and help to reduce overflows and discharges into Kaipatiki Creek.
The current pipe that goes over the pipebridge and through Bayview will be decommissioned. Private property connections will be moved from the current pipe to the new pipe.
Most of Francis Kendall Reserve (between Kaipatiki Rd and Chedworth Drive) is currently closed as the first section of work to be done will be directional underground drilling from the pump station to Francis Kendall Reserve, and then from the reserve back to the northern side of Kaipatiki Rd.
