Kaipara District Council is undertaking several water infrastructure projects this year, including replacement of Maungaturoto’s water main pipes as part of a $6 million programme. The works are able to take place thanks to partial funding from the Government’s Three Waters Reform programme.

This month, one kilometre of damaged water mains on Hurndall Street in Maungaturoto will be replaced, as well as three kilometres of raw water mains that feed the town’s water treatment plant. ....
Solar power supply for Maungaturoto Lightyears solar is building solar farms in Ruawai, Waiuku and Paeroa. Construction will soon begin on a 7500-panel solar farm which will supply power to Ruawai and Maungaturoto.
