Major works are starting on Cameron Rd to upgrade the city's wastewater services.
Tauranga City Council said in a statement today that about 3km of sewer pipes, some of which are more than 100 years old, will be upgraded underneath Cameron Rd, as well as connections to properties and side streets.
From July 26, stage one of the wastewater upgrade will see Fulton Hogan and Downer replacing the sewer pipes running from Harington St to Elizabeth St. It is expected this work will take up to three months to complete.
After contractors have completed stage one, they will move to the second stage - upgrading the wastewater pipes between Elizabeth St and Sixth Ave.
The wastewater upgrade is funded through the City Waters Capital Budget at a cost of $10.9 million.
