Work planned for Benneydale sewerage reticulation network

4 Mar 2016, 11:39 AM

Waitomo District Council will carry out cleaning work on the main sewerage reticulation network in the Benneydale township next week. This will involve the use of CCTV work inside the pipework areas to determine the need for any replacements and repair work.

The work will also remove any fat deposits and large objects that can potentially block the sewerage pipe system.

WDC’s contractor HydroTech will do the work.

Any enquiries should be made to Waitomo District Council on 0800 932 4357.
