Stage two road closure starting Tuesday 3 September - Friday 4 October 2024:

What's happening?

New water main upgrade works will connect existing pipework at the intersection of Coronation Rd, Snell St and Studholme St. While these pipes are installed and commissioned our construction site will gradually extend toward Rhoda Read Hospital. These works will enable Council to replace old water pipe infrastructure and connect to the new Lockerbie Water Treatment Plant and subdivision. This will ensure an increase in resilience and water supply for the future.

Odlum Group will endeavour to be respectful of your neighbourhood and minimise their impact wherever possible, however there will be temporary hazards, noise and disruption that are all involved with civil construction, and we ask for your patience during this time.

General hours of work will be from 6.30am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday no Saturday work is expected, however this may become a requirement to keep the project on track.

Water supply

As a watermain upgrade project these works will also affect your water supply, there will be scheduled shutdowns with notice given to affected households, through additional letters, Antenno and our website at mpdc.nz/waternotices throughout the time we are in the area.

We understand how frustrating this may be, however Odlum Group will endeavour to make this process as quick and seamless as possible.

Rubbish and recycling collections

Kerbside collection will not be affected, please continue to put your bins out and our contractors will ensure it is collected on the appropriate days.
