New timber water reservoirs in Three Mile Bush
After a 2-minute outage this Friday 16 May 2025, these striking new timber reservoirs will start supplying water to the Three Mile Bush area.
They're an expansion of our water infrastructure (not a renewal) on a site with natural elevation for efficient water-pressure. Together they hold 1500m³ of treated water, enough to fill a bathtub about 5000 times.
Timber tank reservoirs such as these are like giant barrels for holding treated water ready to be piped to nearby customers. They have a PVC lining to keep the water isolated from the wood surface, and metal bands around them to stop them from expanding outwards. They can be built much larger than plastic tanks and have a much lower carbon footprint than concrete tanks.
These are the first timber tanks of their size in Whangarei District.
