Water mains to be turned off on Awapuni Road this Thursday
Tairāwhiti Roads has begun work to help reduce noise and vibration from traffic on Awapuni Road in Gisborne. General Manager Dave Hadfield says Phase 1 of this work involves moving fire hydrants between Grey Street and Roberts Road away from the driving lane to stop the noise created by tyres making contact with the hydrant lids.
“This means that water mains will need to be turned off to properties between Grey Street and Roberts Road at 5.30am on Thursday 13 December. It is expected they will need to be turned off for 15-30 minutes." Read more
