Springlands wastewater pump stations upgrade

Work on upgrading Council’s three wastewater pump stations in Springlands starts early next year.

The work is necessary to increase the capacity and reliability of Blenheim’s wastewater network.

The Purkiss Street Sewerage Project involves upgrades to pump stations in Purkiss Street north, Nelson Street and Kingwell Drive.

The work will involve the significant upgrade of connecting sewer mains as well as minor works associated with other infrastructure services within the three construction areas.

Fulton Hogan are carrying out the construction works for Council.

Construction starts mid-January and should be finished by July 2026.

Temporary traffic management measures will be put in place by Fulton Hogan throughout the construction period, to facilitate the sequential upgrade of each of the pump stations and associated pipework.

A range of temporary traffic management measures will be employed as the work progresses including lane closures, road closures, footpath closures and detours.

Council apologises for any inconvenience the construction works may cause users of the affected roads and accessway.
