Central Highlands Regional Council would like to update people on the progress of the regional water hydrant overhaul.
It is necessary for contractor Goodline to isolate town water mains at certain times of the work. Towns affected include Anakie, Bluff, Capella, Rubyvale, Rolleston, Springsure and Tieri.
It is expected that most of these works will be completed at night-time but affected households and businesses can expect to receive a letter before work starts with a timeframe indicating the water isolation period.
Overhauling and replacing the region’s hydrants will not only provide reliable water access to firefighters and customers but save water.
Most of the hydrants are anywhere from 30 to 70 years old and are either not working anymore or are leaking.
Council has funded the project with $1.035 million of capital budget.
