Conserve Water Notice: Rangiora Water Supply

The Rangiora Water Treatment Plant is currently being upgraded. This involves construction of a new building and pipe works, to connect the water supply to a new UV Light treatment plant.  The new water main connection will be undertaken between 7am - 7:30pm on Thursday 5 September.

26 September 2024

As part of this project, new pipework needs to be connected to the existing pipework at the South Belt headworks site.

This work is planned for 2 October 2024 and is expected to last one day.

Further works will be undertaken over the next four weeks to install additional pipes to enable final connection to the treatment plant and commissioning.

Traffic management will be in place during the duration of these works. This will vary depending on the works being undertaken, but will include reduced speed and lane widths, including provision for pedestrians and cyclists.

As part of the new UV Upgrade project at South Belt, an isolation valve is required to be installed to enable connection of new pipework.

This work is planned for 5 September 2024 and is expected to last one day. However, further works will be undertaken over the next four weeks to install additional pipes to enable final connection to the treatment plant and commissioning.

Traffic management will be in place during the duration of these works with reduced speed and lane widths, including provision for pedestrians and cyclists.

Water Conservation

The new water main connection will be undertaken between 7am - 7:30pm on Thursday 5 September. This work will require shutting down the wells and running the scheme from stored water only. As water storage is limited, we are requesting all residents of the Rangiora water supply to conserve water.

Please consider delaying any non-urgent, high water usage tasks such as:

  • Using the dishwasher or washing machine
  • Taking baths or long showers
  • Using sprinklers or watering gardens

Thank you for your patience while we carry out this work.
