A wastewater overflow has entered Lake Whakatipu along part of the Frankton Arm near Goldfield Heights. The issue was resolved within five minutes of the overflow occurring, but warning signage has been erected on the lakefront in the affected area. Water quality testing is underway and signage will be removed once clear results are returned.

Shotover Bridge

Work to connect a new water and wastewater main at either end of the Shotover Bridge is now complete.


About the project

The new watermain supplies water to Frankton, and the wastewater main upgrades an existing sewerage pipe.

These upgrades were important to meet the needs of our growing district. It ensures safe and clean drinking water is flowing to our communities, and wastewater is managed safely and in a way that protects our precious environment.
