SEWER MAINS REHABILITATION MAINTENANCE WORKS FOR RIVER ROAD - From 5th to 11th August 2025

Masterton District Council has contracted Pipe Tech to carry out relining of the public sewer network in River Road. We intend to line the public sewer along River Road during the period starting from 5th to 11th August 2025.

Work will be undertaken: (Weather permitting) between the hours of 7.00am and 6.00pm and will take 1-2 days per liner installed. There will be Saturday works also.

We will require the properties affected by this work NOT to use their Toilet, Bath, Laundry, Kitchen sink, Dish Washer or any other means that discharges waste water into the sewer pipes for a short period of time (approximately 2-3 hours) only on the day of lining.

Pipe Technologies staff will inform (door knock) the properties affected on the day of lining when we require you not to use any of the services listed below. This is expected to be a 2-3 hour period during which time we ask that:

• Toilets flushing is restricted where possible
• Dishwashers are not used
• Washing machines are not used.
• Tub, basin, bath or sink water is not disposed of
• Automatic wastewater discharge pumps are switched off.

If Pipe Technologies encounter any problems and there are delays in returning the sewer back to normal operation, then you will be advised of the delay.

Pipe Technologies strive to minimize interruption to properties and apologize for any noise nuisance caused by these operations, and assure you that we will aim to minimize the length of time any such plant is operating.
