Seven Street Watermain Renewal project progressing well
Our crews have been undertaking work to improve the water supply network for Severn Street, Moselle Street, Derwent Street and Humber Street in Island Bay, known as the Severn Street Watermain Renewal project, which is now in Stage 2, and progressing well.
The temporary road restrictions between Robertson Street and Dennis Street are expected to remain in place for a few more weeks. The next step for this part of the project is to finish transferring properties to the newer watermain and tidying up the old pipework, and to do this we will need to schedule some planned water outages, and we will notify residents at least 24 hours before these take place via letter drops, and on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
Our crews have also completed the ground investigations for Stage 3 and will soon have completed the overall design. Work is expected to begin on this in September/October.
We thank residents for their patience while our crews do this work.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
