About the works
Stage one - Cambridge Road wastewater upgrade
Work has started on a new wastewater pump station in Te Awamutu’s Pekerau Reserve. This pump station will meet current levels of service, increasing demand and support new growth in the area.
The pump station will connect the neighbouring areas to the south of Cambridge Road to the main wastewater network.
Construction is expected to be completed by October.
A section of the footpath between Cambridge Road and Pekerau Reserve, as well as a portion of the dog exercise area will be closed during the construction period. A detour will be in place for pedestrians and dog walkers, with access to Pekapekarau School and the dog exercise area via Gleneagles Drive. This will add about 10 minutes to the walk.
Road shoulder closures along Cambridge Road may be required during the project. The contractors are working with local businesses to find the safest solution to carry this out if required.
