UtilitiesCHB Water Renewals
Renewing our assets are an important part of maintaining levels of service, reducing water leaks and servicing our growing communities, identified in our recent 2021 Long Term Plan as Challenge #2. Renewals involve replacing our pipe network before they get to the end of life. Due to historic under investment we have approx.. $18m of pipe networks past end of life, we are playing catch up, and our 2021 Long Term Plan has set aside significant investment to renew our aging network. Keep an eye on this page to follow the projects we are delivering as we respond to Challenge #2.
Check out our 3 Waters Asset Management Plan and Infrastructure Strategy for further detail on our pipe network
You can follow the specific project updates by visiting the individual projects below:
Practical completion has now been issued on this project.
We have now completed all water works on this project which involved the renewal of approx. 926m of water main and the replacement of many laterals. Final walkover and project quality checks are to take place over the next two weeks, along with our contractor remedying any defects found.
All resealing and footpaths have been reconstructed.
Council thanks residents for their co-operation during the 15 week construction of the water upgrade.
All new water pipes are connected to the town supply with the last connection carried out on Wednesday 24th July in Porangahau Road.
This connection involved removing an old valve and installation of a new tee and valve while working around a second water supply pipe. Contractors now begin the push to reinstate the remaining footpaths and road surfaces with final topsoil work of grass berms to continue when weather permits over the coming weeks.
Fulton Hogan are stilling aiming to be completed and offsite by the middle of August.
Both new water mains are now live and connected to the Council water network with all households connected to the new pipes with new laterals and water toby’s. Fulton Hogan are working with their sub-contractors to rehabilitate the footpaths and road surfaces with work currently underway in Mackie Street to complete the road surface now that the footpaths are completed.
Next week the last shutdown will take place along Porangahau Road to allow the last connection onto the town network to take place.
Installation of the Mackie Street section of new water main and service laterals has been completed with the last connection of the new pipe network to the Council Water Network on Tuesday 25 June. All the water connections along Mackie Street are now been supplied off the new Water Network that Fulton Hogan have installed over the past 2 months.
Work is progressing well in McLean Terrace with the remaining new water main pipes completed, and half of the new water laterals to properties completed. Once the last few have been completed this week the contractor plans the carry out cleaning and testing of the new network next week which then allow the new network to be connected into the existing town network.

The new water main on Mackie Street passed testing late last week, and is now ready for connecting into Council’s Water Network. The connection into the network is programmed to start on Tuesday 18th June at the Freyberg Tce end first, followed by the McLean Terrace connection later that week, After the new water main is live, the contractor will then commence changing over all house connections to the new water network. The last piece of the work for Mackie Street is to connect the new water main pipe onto the existing water network in McCarthy Terrace.
The contractor will then start installing the new house service connections for McLean Terrace in preparation for testing on the McLean Terrace Water Main in the coming weeks.
We expect the project to be complete by mid July 2019, approximately 3 weeks ahead of originally planned schedule.
Work has progressed well over the past two weeks with all but 20m of the new PE Watermain installed in both Mackie Street and McLean Terrace.
Fulton Hogan are currently working on installation of the new service laterals along Mackie Street with the aim to have these completed by the end of this week.
This will allow for testing and cleaning of the new network in Mackie Street to be undertaken week starting 3rd June 2019, prior to the changeover to the new network which is planned for week starting 11th June 2019 subject to progress and confirmation of the testing.
Once Mackie Street is changed over to the new water network, Fulton Hogan will then commence with the McLean Terrace water laterals.
Work has progressed well over the past week and a half with the new water main and ridermain water pipe installed in Mackie Street.
Fulton Hogan’s sub-contractor Xtreme Contracting have directionally drilled all the new pipe which has meant a quick installation process with less road trench reinstatement work.
Over the coming weeks the water lateral to each property will be installed onto the new water main, cleaning and testing of the new pipes will then be carried out before each property is connected to the new water network.
Fulton Hogan are working with Council to minimise any disruption during the changeover phase to the new water network by having the old and new water mains live together.
Work has commenced in McLean Terrace with work continuing over the coming two weeks installing the new water pipes.
Central Hawkes Bay District Council is pleased to advise we have awarded a contract to Fulton Hogan Ltd for the project to renew the existing water supply line and lateral connections in Mackie Street and McLean Terrace, Waipukurau.

CHBDC and contract partners Higgins have finished the project to renew the water mains in Nelson Street and Reservoir Road, Waipukurau. All residents have now been connected to the new, more resilient network. In addition, the project provided employment opportunities for two members of our local community who have now been offered permanent positions.
We are currently negotiating with a contractor to complete this work on the Nelson St and Reservoir Road projects. Physical construction onsite is expected to commence at the end of February and be completed by the end of July. This construction will involve the installation of 950 metres of water main and 570 metres of smaller Rider main by horizontal directional drilling, and the installation of 8 New Fire Hydrants. Residents in these areas can expect to receive detailed information in their letterbox shortly.
The renewal of services in Reservoir Road and Nelson Street have been identified as being of priority due to the number of water leak repairs associated with this area and as this area of road is also scheduled for reseal within the Land Transport programme. Budget to complete this project has become available through the 3 Waters Reform funding.
The scope of this project is to replace water supply mains on Reservoir Road and Nelson Street, Waipukurau. This infrastructure was identified as requiring replacement by the Three waters operations team as this area accounts for a disproportionate amount of the water leaks within the reticulated network areas (approx. 10%). These areas are also scheduled by the Land Transport department for patch reseals.
The timeline for this project is largely dependent on the availability of funding expected to be sourced as part of Tranche 1 from the central government 3 waters reform. The design has already been completed in-house.
The project for Mackie Street and Mclean Terrace, Waipukurau is currently out for tender and in the open market via GETs.
Council has identified our next set of water renewals and is currently finalising the design to tender for the physical works shortly.
This work will see a section of AC water main replaced along Mackie and McLean street in Waipukurau. The works are planned to be completed by 30 June 2019.
Council is pleased to announce the award of this contract for the project to upgrade approx 925m of water main in Mackie and Mclean Terrace to Fulton Hogan Ltd. Works are planned to commence Monday 15th April 2019 and run through to mid August 2019.
Council is currently finalising contract details with our preferred supplier for the Mackie/ Mclean project.
Each year council has defined budget as outlined in our LTP to replace water network that is modelled for replacement as per our asset management plans, and confirmed through investigation and scoping.
