Kia ora,

Planned to begin in late January 2026, Watercare will be rehabilitating the Ōrākei wastewater network to improve the integrity of wastewater pipes, significantly reduce overflows, and enhance local water quality.

This project will ensure the existing wastewater pipes continue to safely and consistently transfer wastewater through our network to our treatment plants for many years to come.

As we reline the pipeline, we will also rehabilitate manholes along the pipeline. Some of this work will take place within public reserves, roadways, and roadside berms, while some will occur on private property. We aim to work closely with you to minimise disruption while we complete this urgent repair work.
To carry out these works, our contractors will need access to several sewer manholes. As the crew progresses, moving from manhole to manhole, you may experience some localised traffic disruption, noise, and odour in the immediate vicinity.

We appreciate your patience as we undertake these essential works. Please note that these works will not affect your water or wastewater services.

How will these works affect you?

• Working hours will be 7:00 am – 7:00 pm, Monday – Friday.
• The team will be working from the footpaths and berms near the manholes, with traffic management in place to ensure public and worker safety.
• These works will generate some noise; however, it will be kept to a minimum and within levels approved by Auckland Council.
• Access to properties will be maintained throughout the project. If access needs to be restricted, you will be notified in advance.

Thank you in advance for your patience. We will ensure measures are in place to minimise unnecessary disruption throughout this project.
