Infrastructure Project Updates

What’s Happening In Your Street

Armadillo Civil is completing watermain upgrades throughout Tauranga City and Western Bay.

These upgrades will:

  • Improve water delivery reliability (old pipes can leak / break)

  • Maintain consistent water pressure

  • Maintain water quality

  • Reduce water waste (old infrastructure can leak)

  • Support future growth in the area

Below is an update on the current watermain works around Tauranga.

Residents in affected streets will receive notifications in their letterboxes throughout the entire process.
