Rebuild Update: Aeration lagoon
Channel: Kaikoura District Council
Date: 2018-09-20

The aeration lagoon at the sewerage treatment plant collapsed in the 2016 earthquake. It will be rebuilt within the existing treatment plant site, further away from the stream at a cost of approximately $1.3 million. After contributions from insurance and the Crown it is expected that KDC will need to fund approximately $250,000. 

Council’s horizontal infrastructure rebuild covers our roads, bridges, and three waters networks (stormwater, wastewater and drinking water). The target date for the completion is June 2020.
