Duncan St road closure and outage

Severe weather conditions from Wednesday 30 April to Friday 2 May may impact the network

Severe weather conditions may impact the network

Due to severe weather conditions forecasted from today, 30 April until Friday 2 May, there may be impacts on the network,

Heavy rain increases the chance of excess stormwater entering the wastewater network, which it doesn’t have capacity for. This means there is a higher risk of wastewater overflows during wet weather events or emergencies such as major power cuts.

Our operations team are checking known risk areas and working to ensure that the stormwater network will be running as smoothly as possible.

UPDATE 8.45PM

Water has now been restored and the road is now partially open.
Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Due to a service strike as part of our Duncan Street watermain renewal project, we have had to close Duncan Street to traffic. Water will also be shutoff while our crew investigates and works to resolve the issue.

We will provide further updates as we receive them.
