Swamp under road puts job over budget
Whangaehu Valley Road works will cost an estimated $57,000 more than was budgeted to complete. Waimarino County Works Engineer Don Sattler said in his report to a recent county council meeting that conditions for the work were very difficult. He said whcn digging started it was found the base was 75 per cent swamp and 25 per cent fill material. The extra money would have to be spent on fill material to restabalise the road. He said the deterioration in the weather also contributed to the extra costs. The work would be complete in about two weeks, Mr Sattler said in the report which was presented to council March 22.
