Omāroro Reservoir Pipelines work update
Here's an update of what's been happening with the pipelines work that will connect the Omāroro Reservoir to the network.
Work is progressing well in Hargreaves Street, as we pour the concrete floor and walls in the chamber, and finish off the pipe installation. We are on track to open up the bottom of Hargreaves Street by the end of the month in preparation for the Wallace Street road closure happening from December 8.
We’ve taken a few photos from around the current work site, as well as inside the chamber at Hargreaves Street so you can see what it looks like under the surface.

Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
