Waitangirua/Whitby Watermain Extension Project

The Team from Wellington Water

We are soon getting under way with installing a large additional watermain pipe in Omapere Street, Warspite Avenue and Cleat Street, Waitangirua/Whitby. The project will increase resilience and provide capacity for future development.

This work will take about 20 weeks, beginning 8 April. Hours of work will generally be 8am-4pm Monday to Friday, with some Saturdays worked if necessary.

While work areas will be fenced off, we will make sure residents have access to their property at all times. There may be times when a contractor needs to gain access to a property, in this case residents will be given at least 24 hours’ notice of this. Please contact our project team if you have any concerns.


When we are working within the Skyline Reserve, it will be necessary to temporarily close the pedestrian footpath from Omapere Street to Staysail Place from 8 April until early-June 2019. This will help us get the work done as quickly as possible and keep the public safe.


On-street car parking in the area alongside the worksite will be restricted and we ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us to get the work done as quickly as possible. There may be some delay for traffic passing through the worksite during working hours as well.

All updates on this project will be available on our website.
