Napier City Council provides safe potable water for drinking and firefighting from the water supply network. A safe and cost-effective drinking water supply is key to sustaining the health of the community. The system draws water directly from the Heretaunga Plains aquifer through seven Council-managed bores.
A new reservoir site is set to be constructed atop Mataruahou (Hospital Hill). Two new reservoirs will replace the current Enfield Reservoir, which is approaching the end of its operational lifespan. Provision for a third reservoir will bring the total storage capacity at the new site to approximately 18 million litres, compared to 9.5 million litres in Enfield Reservoir.
*Project costs are estimates.
The Rising (pressurised) and Falling (gravity) Mains projects are crucial parts of Napier City Council’s Water Supply Network Master Plan. These pipelines will improve water distribution reliability and safety by connecting borefields and treatment plants to storage reservoirs, ensuring a secure and efficient water supply.
*Project costs are estimates.
New borefields and treatment plants at our existing Taradale and Awatoto sites will replace most of the existing aged bores at these sites. As part of this project, each borefield will consist of four bores, one existing and three new.
*Project costs are estimates.
The Mission Hills Development (MHD) will add 1,200 new houses to Napier. The current Tironui Reservoir cannot meet the increased demand. Two new reservoirs with a two-million litre capacity will support MHD with provision for two additional reservoirs catering for future city growth.
*Project costs are estimates.
We've provided a number of ways for people to have their say on Napier's Local Water Done Well consultation. Submissions close at 5pm, Sunday 15 June.
