Construction continuing, Bona Vista Drive is
now complete, crew is continuing into Charles
Hodge. Forecast for construction completion is
early March 2017.
Cost forecast is still exceeding the original
budget, alternate alignment options were
considered as part of the design process,
though efficiencies identified are being offset
by rocky ground conditions impacting
progress. The extent and strength of rock
encountered has exceeded expectations and
has had significant impact on progress and
project costs.

Design is at an advanced stage with detailed
design drawings due to be submitted for
review shortly. Based on the detailed design
both the cost and schedule are being
reviewed. The recommended alignment
through the affected properties has a number
of constraints and indications are that works
will extend into the 17-18 FY with an increase
in forecast budget.
Any change to this project will follow Council’s

the project is taking longer than originally
estimated.
Quotes have been received for the remaining
design scope, though finalisation of the scope
and awarding of the remaining design work is

Drinking Water samples are taken at the outlet of Water Treatment Plants and within the reticulation
network. A summary of the performance is detailed below.
Eton Reticulation samples for Selenium above 10 ug/L but below15ug/L (limit of 15ugL). Measured values were between 10 -14ug/L.
Note: The updated AWDG (Jan 2017) has changed the methodoloty for triggering reporting. The level of precision has been changed from using 2 significant figures to 1 significant figure.

5.2. Wastewater Compliance
The discharges from wastewater treatment facilities are regulated by Development Approvals issued
by the Department of Environment and Resource Management. The licence requirements differ
based on the time the Development Approval was issued and the receiving environment associated
with any discharges.
5.3. Backflow Testing
Backflow devices are installed on water services where there is a risk that water could return from a
private property back into the Water Reticulation network. The requirement for backflow devices is
regulated in accordance with the Standard Plumbing and Drainage Regulation.
All wastewater tests for samples logged at the time of reporting were compliant.
Please Note: as at 28 February some test results are still to be released
