Project summary
What we're doing
We built a 12-megalitre reservoir to supply drinking water to Ruakura and nearby Peachgrove. Work on the structure began in March 2019.
Why we're doing it
The reservoir is designed to help the city cater for growth in the Ruakura area. The development of Ruakura will provide homes for up to 4000 people over the next 30 years and create an economic hub delivering 6000 – 12,000 jobs.
