Latest Updates
Crews continue to make their way up Logan Street, towards the Queen St roundabout, with work expected to finish up by August.
Crews continue to work their way up Logan Street laying the wastewater pipe. We expect to complete the works by early to mid-August.
On Monday, 12 May we start work installing a new wastewater pipe along Logan Street. Here’s the key things to keep in mind...
Wellington Water will soon start work replacing wastewater (sewerage) pipes along Logan Street in Upper Hutt, in between the McParland Street intersection and the Queen Street roundabout. This is required as the current pipes are ageing and in poor condition. The new pipes will provide a more reliable and resilience wastewater service for the community.
Here’s the key information for local residents and businesses to be aware of:
• We’re expecting to start construction work on the 28 April 2025, and finish by July/August
• We’ll start work where Sinclair Street intersects with Logan Street, before moving onto the McParland Street
and Logan Street intersection where we’ll start laying the new wastewater pipe.
• We’ll be laying the new pipe all the way up Logan Street, up until the Queen St roundabout. We’ll do the
work in sections.
• We’re also realigning a drinking water pipe along the same stretch of road, to allow us to lay the new
wastewater pipe.
• Contractors E Carsons and Sons Ltd are doing the work.
What is the expected impact?
• We’re laying the new pipe along the eastern side of Logan Street, including an area where parking is
currently located. As we’ll be digging a trench along the eastern side of the road, parking and traffic will be
impacted while the work takes place.
• We’ll have traffic management in place to direct traffic during work hours, which is Monday to Friday 7am5pm.
• Some of the parking along the eastern side of Logan Street will be unavailable while the work takes place. As
we’re doing the work in sections, we’ll aim to minimise this impact as much as we can.
• This work won’t impact residents access to their property although people may need to move their vehicle
away from the work area at times.
• There will be some noise on site due to the heavy machinery involved.
• A temporary water shutdown is required for a short period while we do the work. We’ll let you know in
advance who is impacted by this and when this will be.
All Updates
Crews are making good progress installing new drinking and wastewater pipes along Logan Street. The old wastewater pipes are old, and in poor condition. The ones we’re installing will be more reliable, and resilient.
We’ve now finished installing a new drinking water pipe opposite the Cossie Club. It’s in a slightly different position, to make way for the wastewater pipe which will stretch right from where Logan Street intersects with Mcparland Street, to the Queens Street roundabout. We’re partway through laying the new wastewater pipe, and connecting this to homes.
Here’s the latest:
-
Crews have made their way to the Logan/Sinclair Street intersection, and expect to make their way up to the Queen St roundabout by about mid-July.
-
We currently have traffic management setup where Sinclair St meets Logan Street. We expect to finish up here in about a week.
-
When crews reach the Queen St roundabout, the new wastewater pipe will be connected to the network. The roundabout will be partially closed for around four days to allow crews to safely complete this connection. Signage and traffic management crews will help guide traffic.
-
Once we finish at the roundabout, we’ll then go back down Logan Street to finish up connecting homes to the new wastewater pipe.
-
We expect to complete the project by August.
-
We’re not anticipating a need for any more temporary drinking water shutdowns.
-
Parking is available again opposite the Cossie Club (in front of the Toy Library)
-
A big thanks to local residents and businesses for your patience and flexibility.
Crews continue to work their way up Logan Street laying the wastewater pipe, which will extend all the way to the Queens Street roundabout once complete. We expect to complete the works by early to mid-August.
We’ve also realigned the drinking water pipe, and we’ll be connecting this into the network in the coming weeks.
We’ll let residents and businesses know in advance of any temporary water shutdowns.
Traffic management remains in place, with part of Logan Street down to one lane so crews can safely install the pipe. When we reach the Sinclair Street intersection, we plan to have two lanes of traffic flowing again for the remainder of the project.
A big thanks again to Logan Street residents and businesses for your understanding.
UPDATE: Friday, 9 May
On Monday, 12 May we start work installing a new wastewater pipe along Logan Street.
Here’s the key things to keep in mind:
- We’ll be starting from where Mcparland Street intersects with Logan Street, and working our way up to the Queens Street roundabout (see the red line below).
- There’ll be traffic management in place, but two lanes of traffic will be maintained.
- There will be restrictions on traffic going both ways along Kowhai Ave, where it intersects with Logan Street.
- We kindly ask that residents along Logan Street to please park their cars on their property, or close by away from the work site, while the work takes place.
- We expect this work to be completed by around July/August although we expect the work near residential housing (from the Mcparland to the Sinclair St intersection) to take about a month to complete.
- This builds on work we’re already doing along Logan Street to realign a drinking water pipe, shown in blue below.
A big thanks to local residents for your understanding and patience.
