Work on the regional pressure management project commences in Wainuiomata during October. We will be installing pressure management systems in Wise Street and Wellington Road.

Hours of work will generally be 7:00am-5:00pm Monday to Friday. 

There will be some noise with this work, however every effort will be made to reduce noise and disruption.

The work involves installing pressure management systems at key locations in Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt cities.

This will allow us to gradually minimise the excess pressure in the network, reducing the risk of pipe bursts and leakage and making the water service more reliable and efficient - without adversely affecting customers' water pressure.
