We’re renewing over 1km of wastewater pipes in Aro Valley to reduce leaks and overflows, protect our natural environment and strengthen the resilience of the network.  

 CCTV investigations by Wellington Water in 2016/2017 identified sections of the wastewater network in Aro Valley were in need of renewal. Many of these pipes are made of earthenware and at the end of their working lifespen, with cracks, breaks and root intrusion identified in several areas.  

These issues create a risk of wastewater leakage into the surrounding soil and stormwater network, with potential impacts on public health.

The works involve a mix of excavating and installing new pipes, and re-lining existing pipes to increase their durability and lifespan.  

Work will be undertaken at: 

  • Adams Terrace 
  • Aro Street 
  • Fairlie Terrace 
  • Holloway Road 
  • Landcross Street 
  • Maarama Crescent
