Water Main Renewal - Cridland Street East, Kaiapoi

The existing water mains on the south side of Cridland Street East are due for renewal as part of this year's Kaiapoi water renewals program.

The existing water mains from 46B Sidney Quay to 19 Ranfurly Street were installed in the 1970s and are in poor condition. A new water main is to be installed to replace these existing assets. All properties supplied from these water mains will have their connections transferred to the new mains.

The work will include

  • Installation of a new water main from 46B Sidney Quay to 19 Ranfurly Street on the southern side of Cridland Street East
  • New lateral connections will be installed at the service box at the property boundary, which will also be upgraded if required.

Work is scheduled to occur in early March 2025, and expected to be completed by April 2025.
