Wastewater work will affect traffic<br />
WESTMORLAND residents<br />
are being warned to expect<br />
traffic delays in the coming<br />
weeks.<br />
City council work is about<br />
to start on the new south-east<br />
Halswell wastewater project in<br />
the area.<br />
Traffic delays will affect<br />
motorists between the Cashmere<br />
Rd and Penruddock Rise<br />
intersection and the south end<br />
of Hendersons Rd.<br />
City council project manager<br />
Kylie Hills said stop-go traffic<br />
control would be put in place at<br />
the Cashmere Rd and Penruddock<br />
Rise intersection, and at<br />
two pipe-trench road crossings<br />
in and near the Hendersons Rd<br />
and Cashmere Rd intersection.<br />
“We’re asking those that<br />
travel through this area to allow<br />
an extra five minutes for their<br />
journeys,” she said.<br />
But Ms Hills assured the city<br />
council would get the work<br />
done as quickly as possible.<br />
“While there will be some<br />
disruption to motorists the<br />
long-term benefits to local residents<br />
in the area will outweigh<br />
the traffic delays in the short<br />
term.”<br />
The Cashmere Rd branch<br />
of the South East Halswell<br />
Wastewater scheme will divert<br />
ROADWORKS: Traffic delays are likely between the Cashmere Rd and Penruddock Rise<br />
intersection and the south end of Hendersons Rd over the coming weeks. <br />
flows from Westmorland to a<br />
new pump station being built<br />
on Sparks Rd.<br />
This will take wastewater<br />
flows away from older<br />
downstream infrastructure<br />
and into other parts of the<br />
network.<br />
It will allow at risk infrastructure<br />
to be renewed without<br />
interruption of residents’<br />
wastewater services as well as<br />
increasing the capacity of the<br />
local network.<br />
The overall scheme involves<br />
constructing a pressure sewer<br />
network which is more than<br />
8km long and up to 450mm in<br />
diameter, along with constructing<br />
a new pump station on<br />
Sparks Rd and carrying out<br />
upgrades to existing pump<br />
stations.<br />
The wastewater pipelines<br />
are being constructed in three<br />
sections – the first section runs<br />
through south-east Halswell<br />
from Kennedys Bush Rd to<br />
the new Sparks Rd pump station.<br />
The second section will run<br />
between the pump station at<br />
the bottom of Penruddock Rise<br />
to the new pump station on<br />
Sparks Rd.<br />
And the third section is<br />
from the new pump station on<br />
Sparks Rd to an existing pump<br />
station on Wigram Rd.<br />
