Wainuiomata North wastewater renewal

Wellington Water, on behalf of Hutt City Council, will soon be installing new wastewater pipes parallel to Frederick Street (shown in yellow, in the below image). The current pipes are old, and in need of replacement to reduce the risk of pipe leaks and blockages.

Here’s what to expect:

• Crews are expecting to start work in late May/early June 2026 and be finished by around July 2026 (indicative timeframe).
• The work involves installing new wastewater manholes and pipes at the end of the cul-de-sac(s) – between McKay and Russell Road.
• Most of the work is on public land - accessing the manholes only at the end of the cul-de-sac(s), with some work on private property (we’ll be in touch directly with any impacted private property owners).
• There’ll be some traffic management in place and parking limitations on these streets while the work takes place.
• The construction work will generate some noise, we’ll work to keep this to a minimum.
• All work will be completed within standard working hours, Monday to Friday 8am-5pm.
• Pipeworks (part of Brian Perry Civil) is completing the work on the ground.
