Victoria and Dixon Streets wastewater upgrades
We're about to start upgrading the wastewater network at the corner of Victoria and Dixon Streets in Wellington's CBD.
Work will begin on Monday next week (11.6.18) and is expected to take six months to complete.
The project includes the construction of a new underground pump station at Volunteer Corner and an upgrade of the pipes beneath Dixon Street that connect to the wastewater mains on Willis Street.
The new infrastructure will help to relieve the pressure on the city’s other pump stations, which importantly will reduce the possibility of overflows into the harbour.
The project team will be employing new real time traffic management tracking, Mooven, to monitor and respond to any impact the works might have on surrounding streets.
For more information, and updates about the project, check out the project page on our website: wellingtonwater.co.nz...
