The monthly report from the Drainage Manager is attached for the Committee’s consideration

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the report be received.

Canal East Road, Roadside Drain Culverts

The Environment Waikato WVS-PRS Liaison Subcommittee recommended that the region contribute to the reconstruction of the roadside drain, and the private access culverts. Further discussions with EW staff have lead to the proposal to reorient the drainage east to the Central North drain, which has direct connection to the Central North pump station, and which is the long term drainage pattern due to the peat settlement.

This would enable Council to abandon the roadside drain, with its attendant problems of traffic management at the time of maintenance, and provide access to the pumped system.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the affected landowners be contacted again to ascertain their views of the possible drainage re-orientation, and if agreement can be reached, then the drainage be re-directed east to Central North Drain.

Leonard Street Piping

A cost estimate to pipe the length of open drain from the north east corner of the Masonic development block to the piped reticulation in Leonard Street has been prepared. The estimated cost is $20,500.

RECOMMENDATION

THAT the piping of the 72m length of open drain between the Masonic development and Leonard Street with 450mm diameter RCRRJ pipe, at an estimated cost of $20,500, be approved.
