🚧 WHANGAPARĀOA ROAD WATERMAIN WORKS UPDATE

Watercare and CB Civil are continuing watermain renewal works along Whangaparāoa Road.

Stage 3, between 370 Whangaparāoa Road and Dobell Road, is expected to continue for around 9–10 weeks.

You may notice reduced lanes, temporary speed restrictions, parking changes and some footpath disruption as the work progresses.

Our local businesses remain OPEN, and the works are being staged to keep traffic moving where possible.

There are also two planned overnight works near Vipond Road:

- Monday 31 August | 10pm–5am
- Wednesday 2 September | 10pm–5am

There may be some overnight construction noise, lighting and temporary traffic management.

Watercare will contact properties directly affected by the planned water shutdown.

Please continue to support our local businesses while these important infrastructure works are underway. Allow a little extra time, be patient and shop local!
