Road updates
There will be stop/go traffic control with a restricted speed limit along sections of Rangiuru Road as contractors install a new water main pipe. This work will improve water supply for fire fighting and enhance the network’s resilience.
Work will be undertaken between 7:00am – 6:00pm Monday to Saturday.
For your safety and those of the crews please follow the traffic control instructions.
When the pipe installation is finished, contractors will need to shut down the water supply in some areas to connect the new pipe into the existing network.
Affected people will be informed before any water shutdown.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation while we complete this important upgrade.
A section of the road at Otaihanga domain will be closed off on Wednesday 15 October and Thursday 16 October to remove a Willow tree due to extensive decay at the base. In coordination with the works there will be stump grinding and planting happening.
Work will be undertaken between approx. 7:30 am – 5pm.
The park will still be accessible at this time, but the worksite will be cordoned off.
As part of our Ōtaki wastewater upgrade, we’re laying 2.7 kilometres of new wastewater pipe along Aotaki Street and Mill Road to the Old State Highway.
