Kerrs Water Supply Pump Station Upgrade - extended duration

Update

What

We need to extend the completion date for our work involving drilling deep wells at the pump station, due to a change in our target aquifer. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by these works being extended.

Why

The work we are doing will help to ensure long term drinking water security for the community. The existing wells and pump station needed to be upgraded to support the city to meet future water demands.

Where

Kerrs Water Supply Pump Station - 46 Kerrs Road, Avonside.

When

August 2024 to late October 2025. Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm (weather/site condition dependent).

Contact

The contractor is McMillans Drilling. Phone Iain Haycock 021 730 574, Monday to Saturday, 7am to 6pm.

Details

Large machinery will continue to operate and/or mobilise to and within the pump station site during the construction works.

What does this mean for you?

  • There may be brief disruptions to traffic initially while large equipment is loaded onto the site.
  • You will be able to access your property at all times.
  • No work will be done on Sundays or public holidays.
  • Drinking water will not be affected at all.

Onsite hazards

  • Construction equipment and workers onsite.
  • Construction equipment moving into and out of the work site.
  • Drilling operations will create some noise. We aim to minimise noise as much as possible.

Thank you for your continued patience while we upgrade the pump station.
