Jutland Road Wastewater Upgrades

Project Overview

Pukekohe is a growing community, with approximately 50,000 people expected to move into the area over the next 20 years. To support the upcoming growth, we’re upgrading the wastewater network to increase capacity and improve the network's resilience. This project is part of a wider plan to upgrade the wastewater network in your community.

Our existing pump station on Jutland Road is currently unable to operate at full capacity due to size limitations of the existing wastewater pipeline. To ensure the pump station can operate effectively, we are installing approximately 1.97km of larger diameter pipeline along Domain Road, Puni Road and Ward Street.

What are we doing?

Before construction begins, our contractors, Abergeldie Complex Infrastructure Ltd, will need to complete ground investigations to locate existing services. Once the investigations have finished, works to install the new pipeline in the road corridor will begin.

The pipeline will be installed by open trenching. This means that the team will close a section of the road, dig a trench, install the new pipeline, before reinstating the worksite and moving along to the next section.

How does this affect you?

Construction is expected to begin in November and to finish in late 2026.

Our general working hours are Monday to Friday, 7am-7pm. On occasion, we may need to work outside of these hours, but we will contact directly impacted residents ahead of time.

During working hours, general construction noise, vibration, dust and increased truck movements should be expected. Our works will remain within the consented limited and we will work to reduce the impacts where possible.

Driveway access to properties will be impacted during these works . Our contractors will contact directly impacted residents before work begins outside of their property.

An approved traffic management plan will be in place while we complete these works. You may notice the following changes:

• Contraflow or stop/go

• Reduced speed limits

• Reduced lane width

• Reduced street parking

• Traffic VMS boards

• Pedestrian detours / reduced footpath width

We appreciate that this work is disruptive and want to thank you for your patience while we complete this essential mahi.
