Logan Street Wastewater Renewal

Wellington Water will soon start work replacing wastewater (sewerage) pipes along Logan Street in Upper Hutt, in between the McParland Street intersection and the Queen Street roundabout. This is required as the current pipes are ageing and in poor condition. The new pipes will provide a more reliable and resilience wastewater service for the community.

Here’s the key information for local residents and businesses to be aware of: 

• We’re expecting to start construction work on the 28 April 2025, and finish by July/August
• We’ll start work where Sinclair Street intersects with Logan Street, before moving onto the McParland Street 
and Logan Street intersection where we’ll start laying the new wastewater pipe. 
• We’ll be laying the new pipe all the way up Logan Street, up until the Queen St roundabout. We’ll do the 
work in sections.
• We’re also realigning a drinking water pipe along the same stretch of road, to allow us to lay the new 
wastewater pipe.
• Contractors E Carsons and Sons Ltd are doing the work.

What is the expected impact?

• We’re laying the new pipe along the eastern side of Logan Street, including an area where parking is 
currently located. As we’ll be digging a trench along the eastern side of the road, parking and traffic will be 
impacted while the work takes place.
• We’ll have traffic management in place to direct traffic during work hours, which is Monday to Friday 7am5pm. 
• Some of the parking along the eastern side of Logan Street will be unavailable while the work takes place. As 
we’re doing the work in sections, we’ll aim to minimise this impact as much as we can.
• This work won’t impact residents access to their property although people may need to move their vehicle 
away from the work area at times.
• There will be some noise on site due to the heavy machinery involved. 
• A temporary water shutdown is required for a short period while we do the work. We’ll let you know in 
advance who is impacted by this and when this will be.
