Work to start on installing new water pipe under Control Gates Bridge
Work on connecting Acacia Bay and Mapara residents to the Taupō town water supply is going great, and one of the final remaining pieces of the puzzle gets underway next week when we start work on installing a new water pipe under Control Gates Bridge.
Pedestrian access across the western/upstream side of the Bridge will be closed from November 1 to December 3 while this is underway, so please follow the guidance that will be in place and cross at the traffic lights or the pedestrian refuge. Pedestrian access on the eastern side of the Bridge will remain open at all times.
Our team will be working as quickly as possible to minimise the inconvenience and we’re asking all road users – pedestrians and drivers – to use caution while this work is underway, the safety of everyone that uses this busy intersection is paramount.
The water connection project should be in the bag before Christmas and we’re looking forward to having it up and running!
