On Tuesday, our contractors will be changing the pressure control unit at the Nukuhau pump station, as it is old and needs to be replaced.
This means 400 Nukuhau properties may be affected by water pressure fluctuation from 7.30am. This includes the area connected by Lakewood Drive and Jarden Mile, the Brentwood subdivision and northern parts of the suburb around upper Vaucluse Drive. It should all be back to normal before 3.30pm.
Infrastructure manager Denis Lewis said it is important work that ensures pressure control will remain stable in the future for these properties.
It's better for us to replace old equipment like this before it fails, so we can make sure we are continuing to provide steady water pressure for our community, he said.
The work is part of our standard renewals programme. No properties will go without water while the work is carried out - it may just flow at both lower and higher than normal pressure.
We hope to have the work finished as soon as possible.
