Bridge Pā Water Supply
Bringing Water To Bridge Pā
Who: Citycare Hastings, part of the nationwide Citycare Water Group.
Where: Bridge Pā, Hawkes Bay
Products: 4x Promax 30,000 litre Industrial Water Tanks.
Why: Bridge Pā, on the outskirts of Hastings in Hawkes Bay, is a small settlement of 1300 people. Like the rest of the region, the land and the people can get parched, particularly in summer. In recent years, the local rivers have tended to dry up to little more than a trickle and domestic supply through a number of sources has been compromised. Meanwhile, nearby wineries and orchards have historically drawn on much of the region’s water resources.
Citycare Hastings, part of the nationwide Citycare Water group, has been primarily responsible for ensuring the people of Bridge Pā have access to clean and safe water. Citycare is New Zealand’s largest and most trusted three waters provider, maintaining over 20,000 kilometres of piping networks to over 25% of properties throughout the country. They’re a big deal! We were thrilled when they asked us to help them provide secure water storage and supply for the community of Bridge Pā. Our Promax water storage tanks were the perfect solution for the municipal booster pump station to supply water to Bridge Pā.
What: We delivered 120 kilolitres of water storage via four 30 000 litre heavy-duty industrial water storage tanks. The tanks are certified to AS/NZS:4766 Water Tank Standard & AS/NZS:4020 Contact with Drinking Water. Each tank was configured with four welded 110mm Stub Spigots with Table E backing rings and expansion bellows. As these tanks are in a public environment, we also supplied lockable stainless access lids, mesh screen vents and welded connections.
Citycare Water has an unrivalled track record of keeping things flowing through even the worst natural disasters. So, when they were looking for a partner to help them maintain this reputation, they chose one of the best: Promax. It was an honour to work alongside this organisation and help the good people of Bridge Pā ease their water worries thanks to ongoing storage of 120,000 litres of fresh and clean water.
Once again, this is another Promax solution delivered on time and budget, adding to a long line of industrial systems serving the communities of New Zealand.
