Details
- Christchurch City Council has contracted Hunter Civil to undertake construction of a water treatment plant at 20 Tanner Street.
- The works are forecast to take 5 to 6 months to complete.
- During the works, there will be increased noise and vibration from the use of machinery for activities such as soil excavation, installation of pipework and manholes, and compaction of imported material.
- For a period of up to two weeks, the traffic on Tanner Street will be changed to a one-way system. Notification boards will be put up one week prior to this. This one-way system is expected to be put in place in late July.
- On-street parking may be affected around the work site, cones will indicate where parking will not be available.
Thank you for your patience as we upgrade the drinking water supply in your area.
