stormwater and water mains in Muller Road are entering the
next stage.
The $3.4 million project, between Redwood
and Weld Streets, is part of Blenheim’s 30 year

leaking and must be replaced and the Council will upgrade
and replace the stormwater and water supply piping at the
same time to ‘do it once and do it right’,” said the
Council’s Assets and Services Manager, Richard
Coningham.
Local contractor Fulton Hogan has been
engaged to undertake the works.
The water main works
have now been completed between Redwood and Scott Streets.
