22 OCTOBER 2014
THE RIGHT PIPE PROJECT
Council is undertaking a project that it is calling the ‘Right Pipe’. By ensuring all stormwater is going to
the ‘right pipe’, we can improve our sewerage network and help keep our community clean and healthy.
Our drainage systems audit will require on-site inspections of residential properties on a suburb-bysuburb, basis over the next one to two years, starting with the Tinwald area.
Each inspection will involve a Council representative checking gully traps to make sure they are
positioned at the right height, and stormwater downpipes and soak holes to make sure the system is
working to a satisfactory standard.
Before we visit your property to do the inspection, we will send you a letter to notify you when it is
scheduled to take place. To learn more about the Right Pipe Project visit www.ashburtondc.govt.nz
