New wastewater system<br />
plan for Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
A NEW pressure wastewater<br />
system may be installed in<br />
Whero Ave and Marine Drive,<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
The gravity wastewater<br />
network in the area was badly<br />
damaged in the September 4,<br />
2<strong>01</strong>0, and February 22, 2<strong>01</strong>1,<br />
earthquakes, and through root<br />
intrusion into the joints.<br />
The situation has caused<br />
blockages and overflows on to<br />
private property.<br />
And in some areas houses<br />
have been constructed over the<br />
wastewater pipes, meaning they<br />
cannot be accessed for repair.<br />
The city council is proposing<br />
to install a pressure wastewater<br />
system like the one recently<br />
installed in Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
The individual tank and<br />
pump system is located in<br />
an underground tank which<br />
transfers wastewater, under<br />
pressure, from individual<br />
properties to the city council’s<br />
pipes in the street.<br />
It is connected to an alarm<br />
panel attached to the outside of<br />
each property, which alerts city<br />
council staff if there is a problem<br />
with the tank.<br />
The only parts of the system<br />
that would be visible are the lid of<br />
the tank and the alarm panel.<br />
Feedback is being sought on<br />
the proposal until <strong>November</strong><br />
13. To make a submission, visit<br />

The city council will also hold<br />
a street meeting on Tuesday,<br />
<strong>November</strong> 7 at 5.15pm in the<br />
Whero Ave cul-de-sac.<br />

Spence Developments was<br />
planning to lodge a resource<br />
consent application with the<br />
city council this month but<br />
community reaction to the look<br />
and size of the development<br />
along with concerns over access<br />
points have led to the project<br />
being pushed back by a month.<br />

Hook, said a “revised site<br />
plan and elevations” would be<br />
