Colin Calteaux shared with us the work that is being done creating a new water main from Milton to Waihola. (There was a question about the current quality, or lack there of, of Milton water!) Just over 6km had been completed by our meeting (27 March).
The pipe is placed 1.2m in the ground, with first lots of pipe being 355mm diameter. From Pan Pac on the pipe is 250mm diameter. Instead of 'bending' the pipe, a change of direction requires right angled joins to be made.
It is a challenging job - only 26km to go!!
