Watercare is leasing a new private bore in Ōrewa, which will be available to water tanker drivers.
The bore is in developer AV Jennings’ Ara Hills 84.5ha subdivision on the western side of the Grand Drive motorway exit in northern Ōrewa.
The bore will provide 600,000 litres of water per day-enough to fill up 60 average water trucks and reduce travel times for many drivers.
The water is treated by a modular unit, designed, and installed by Lutra-water treatment specialists.
The other local fill-up stations are in Silverdale and Whangaparāoa.
Watercare’s programme improvements manager, Anin Nama, says one of the advantages of the bore is that it won’t affect water supplies on the metropolitan network.
