Contractors will be working on Bridge St East from 7 March.

The upgrade of this watermain will provide a direct benefit to the CBD and wider network by supplying larger volumes of water than is currently possible.

The watermain is responsible for water that we drink, clean with and bathe in.

As with the larger Bridge to Better project, the upgrade of this watermain will allow for future growth in the inner city and surrounding areas. By upgrading the watermains it will also provide alternative routes for supplying water through newer, larger mains if existing ones are damaged. Larger flows will also help immediately with fire resilience with building sprinkler supplies.
