EXTENDED WATER OUTAGE - BROOKLYN
EXTENDED WATER OUTAGE - BROOKLYN
While repairs were underway, crews discovered an additional crack in the pipeline. This needs to be fixed safely before water can be restored, which has extended the outage.

We acknowledge the disruption this has caused and are working at pace to resolve this. Water tankers are on site for essential needs at 45 Connaught Street. We'll have staff door knocking and arranging for bottled water to be delivered to homes if necessary.

Portaloos have been arranged and will be onsite at approximately 7 pm. Addresses to be notified.

Thank you for your patience — we know this is a difficult time of day to be without water, and we really appreciate your understanding

Our team is working as quickly as possible, and we’ll update you again as soon as water restoration is close. Further updates will be provided as we progress with the repair.

This project is currently in hold.

Why are we doing this?

There has been recent widespread flooding the CBD, Lincoln Ave, Collins Ave, and Beauchamp Street.

These large-scale events are mainly caused by under-sized and/or blocked pipes unable to cope with the large stormwater flows from the steep catchment above central Tawa.

This project will upgrade and increase the capacity and performance of the network to reduce the frequency and impact of flooding on the community.

It is part of a wider programme of stormwater works in Tawa to increase the capacity and improve the resilience and performance of the local stormwater network, reducing the impacts of flooding on the community.

 

What are we doing?

The project will involve works in three separate areas as follows:

  • Collins Avenue Installing a new pipe between Coates Street and Porirua Stream and upgrading the stream channel inlet at Collins Avenue/Coates Street intersection. Duplicating outlet from channel next to railway tracks to new pipe construction under the railway line.
  • Lincoln Avenue Installing a duplicate pipe between Lincoln Avenue and Porirua Stream and upgrading the existing stream channel at lower Lincoln Avenue. Localised flood wall protection in two areas.
  • Lyndhurst Park Installing a flow device on culvert entrance, construct structural brick wall and bund around clubrooms and field. Use lower field to increase storage and upgrade underdrains. Improve stability of the Lyndhurst Creek bed and bank areas. Upgrade grate at the inlet above the Tawa Commercial Area on the Lyndhurst stream. 

 

The project is in the early design stages.
