Three waters network map colour scheme alignment

What is being changed

Three waters network assets are undergoing a change to the primary colour scheme for each type of network.  These will be seen in geospatial maps and tools and can be summarised as:

  • Wastewater network - changed to display consistently as red (was various reds/maroons)
  • Stormwater network - changed to display consistently as green (was various blues/pinks)
  • Water supply network - changed to display consistently as blue for potable (was various greens) and purplefor non-potable (unchanged)

Changes will be applied to:

 

Why the changes are being made

We are changing to better align with conventions across New Zealand for how these network assets are displayed in a contextual setting. A few organisations that use these conventions include NZ Transport Agency, Auckland Council and Wellington City Council.

Building over Council owned drains

If you are rebuilding a house or garage you must check your plans don’t involve building over a Council drain.

The Council's Water Supply, Wastewater and Stormwater Bylaw 2014 specify the proximity of building work near drains – including public water, wastewater and stormwater pipes. This is so the Council can check, repair and replace drains quickly and efficiently.

Please see building near the water and wastewater network for more information.
