Updates for residents and businesses near the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant site.
Trickling filter demolition
The end of demolition is very much in sight with Trickling Filter 1 complete and Trickling Filter 2 getting very close. Work remains on track, and we expect to have both trickling filters entirely demolished by the end of March.
Work to relocate power cables starts this week - another significant milestone on the path to getting the site ready for the next phase of the project.
Demolition work will happen during working hours and contractors will do their best to minimise the noise, dust, and traffic disruption. Vehicles will enter the site from Cuthberts Road.
