As part of our planned wastewater services upgrade in Pāpāmoa East, we will complete seven key projects between 2024 and 2042 to help build capacity and resilience in the wastewater network.
We know people want to live and work in Tauranga, and this is driving the need for significant investment to accommodate the growth we're experiencing in our Pāpāmoa East suburbs. Investment in these major projects will benefit those who live, work and spend time in the wider area both now and well into the future.
We continue to work closely with our colleagues in Tauranga City Council’s Transportation and Spaces and Places teams to coordinate our planning and delivery wherever possible during these projects.
A resilient wastewater network
We’re making this investment now to make sure we have a wastewater network that is safe, robust, and fit for the future. The existing infrastructure is running out of capacity to service our growing suburbs, as well as upcoming developments like Te Tumu.
Significant investment is needed to provide wastewater services that help to protect the environment and public health, as well as a platform for future infrastructure in the wider area.
Our projects include:
- Opal Drive wastewater pipeline upgrade - now complete
- New Opal Drive Pump Station - underway
- Te Tumu Rising Main - more information coming soon
- Pāpāmoa wastewater Trunk Main Replacements - more information coming soon
- Wairākei Pump Station - more information coming soon
- Wairākei Rising Main - more information coming soon
- Opal Drive to Te Maunga Rising Main - more information coming soon
