Project overview

Location Christchurch Central

Project Stage In progress

Date of completion December 2025

We're upgrading the water supply and wastewater infrastructure around Te Kaha. Works are taking place on:

  • Lichfield Street (Manchester to Madras)
  • Madras Street (Hereford to St Asaph)
  • Barbadoes Street (Gloucester to Ferry Road, including intersections)
  • Tuam Street (Madras to Barbadoes)
  • Cashel Street (Manchester to Madras)
  • Ash Street (off Madras)

Parts of the pipe network in the area are due for replacement and other elements are being upgraded to support Te Kaha. This will involve digging up the roads to replace pipes and other water infrastructure. Some lane closures and night works will be required to carry out the work.

You can sign up to our e-Text service for critical alerts here.
