Awarua Street, Elsdon watermain renewal
On behalf of Porirua City Council we are renewing a watermain that carries drinking water along Awarua Street between Titahi Bay Road and Kotuku Street. Renewing this ageing pipe will increase the resilience of the Porirua drinking water network.

Latest Updates
This project has now been completed - ahead of schedule, on 26 June.
We have completed work on the section of Awarua Street outside the Elsdon Foodmarket.
This project has been completed.
In 2022 a project assessing the state of the network, the Three Waters Renewals Project, identified a number of pipes that have reached the end of their design life or have been given a low condition grade.
The renewal of these pipes is being fast-tracked.
This is part of our ongoing work to improve the delivery of safe drinking water to homes and businesses, and to reduce the risk of emergency repairs and/or outages and minimise risks to public health and the environment.
