Motorists heading towards Hamilton and coming back into Te Awamutu would have noticed major construction taking place on Taylors Hill.
This work is a part of Waipā District Council's major water supply project, connecting the Te Awamutu water scheme with the Pukerima water scheme to address the water supply issue Te Awamutu is experience as the town's population continues to grow.
Te Awamutu currently relies on water from the Mangauika Stream on Mt Pirongia and the Frontier Rd bore.
The work on Taylors Hill is a part of stage two of the project which started in June last year and is expected to be completed by the end of November.
Stage two consists of more than 16km of pipes being installed over several roads in the Waipā District to connect the Parallel Rd Treatment Plant to Taylors Hill Reservoir.
