Download PDFChristchurch City Councillors voted to carry out upgrades to the transport network on the streets immediately around Te Kaha, Canterbury’s Multi-Use Arena on Tuam, Barbadoes and Madras Streets, as well as some essential works on Lichfield Street west from Madras Street to Manchester Street.
Works are already underway to upgrade the water infrastructure to future-proof the network for the surrounding neighbourhood. These works also serve the new stadium, which is on track to open in April 2026.
The transport elements will take place directly following the water works, starting immediately.
Business or building owners
If you are the owner of a building with a fire sprinkler we recommend you notify your insurance company about the water shut off.
Tenants
If you are a tenant, please let your landlord know about the planned work.
Businesses
If you run a business or process which requires a constant supply of water, you must provide your own water storage appropriate to the business or process circumstances.
Download PDFWhen the water is shut off, it is possible for air to become trapped. When the water is reinstated and flows through the pipes, the air is pushed out under pressure and can cause a noise in the pipe. This air release, known as ‘banging’, can shake rust or scale from the pipe walls.
To remove the rust please turn on your outside tap and allow the water to run through the pipes for a few moments to give them a good ‘flush’. By doing this you will stop any debris being drawn inside. It’s simple to do, and only takes a few minutes, but would save you having to call in a plumber to clean out fitting within your house at a later date.
When we turn the water back on you may also see us open the nearest fire hydrants to flush out the pipes on the street.

We know that construction work is disruptive, but we have some control about how we plan, stage and time our work. We want to understand you and/or your business in order to keep construction impacts as low as we can.
We're running two meet the contractor sessions where we’ll have a presentation on who we are, the upcoming works, and then a chance for Q&A.
You can find details of these sessions in the invite below.
