We are upgrading wastewater infrastructure in Ilam with the installation of new, larger pipes that will help meet increasing demand from our growing city.
This wastewater upgrade began in early September 2024, with work progressing along Clyde and Creyke roads before reaching the intersection at Ilam Road in mid-2025.
Work is now focused on Maidstone Road, between Ilam Road and Waimairi Road.
The project was initially expected to wrap up by mid-2026 but is currently ahead of schedule and could finish by April 2026.
10 July 2025 to mid-2026:
There is a westbound one-way system on Maidstone Road, from Ilam Road to Waimairi Road, with no entry onto Maidstone Road from Waimairi Road.
