Details

From Monday 14 July 2025, we'll begin work to renew the watermain in zone 3 of our site (Rutland Street between Tomes Road and Mays Road).

To complete this work on zone 3, we'll need to close a section of Rutland Street. A detour will be in place for vehicles, which can be seen on the map below.

Our work along the Papanui Parallel Cycleway (between Grants Road and Rutland Street) will continue as we begin our work on Rutland Street.

While this is in place:

  • The Papanui Parallel Cycleway between Grants Road and Rutland Street will remain closed, this will likely reopen before work is completed in zone 3.
  • Tomes Road will be closed to motorists at approximately property number 103.
  • Rutland Street will be closed to motorists at the intersection with Mays Road.
  • Residential access to properties through the closure will be maintained, however individual driveway access within the worksite may be impacted at times. We'll provide advance notice wherever possible.
  • Pedestrian and cyclist access will be maintained around our work site, however cyclists will be asked to dismount.
  • There will be traffic management in place, so please follow all signage, detours and instructions from our crew. A detour map can be found below.
  • We'll reduce traffic management impacts when it is safe to do so.
  • Water supply to your property will be maintained, with a separate notice being given if shutoff is required.
  • The works may result in increased dust, noise, and vibrations.
  • Please advise if you have any specific property access requirements e.g., medical visits, home help, large vehicle deliveries or planned works.
