From Monday 12 October 2026 to Friday 11 December 2027 CORDE will be carrying out works on behalf of Selwyn Water Limited to install a watermain on Hororātā Road and Aitkens Road to complete the Hororātā to Hartleys pipeline.

Night work will be required for two to three nights; CORDE and Selwyn Water will notify nearby residents closer to the time.

Traffic Impacts

Temporary traffic management will be in place for the duration of the work, including:

  • Shoulder closures.
  • Aitkens Road will be closed between mid-November and early December.
  • A temporary speed limit of 30 km/h.
  • Temporary traffic lights allowing alternate flow.

Resident access

While the work crews are trenching past driveways, property access may be disrupted for up to two days at a time. The on-site team will knock on your door to let you know the day before and again in the morning before they begin the trench and will have steel road plates to assist you if access is required during this period.

Please let us know if you have any specific access requirements e.g. nurse/doctor visit, planned works to your property or large deliveries.
