The Central Interceptor is a wastewater tunnel that will run between Western Springs and the Mangere Wastewater Treatment Plant. The tunnel will run underground for 13 kilometres and will be at a depth of between 22 and 110 metres.  Along the route it will connect to Watercare's existing wastewater network, which will divert flows and overflows into the tunnel.

More recently, the Tunnel is being constructed within Newmarket to connect to the Khyber Pass Reservoir, and is being directionally drilled under numerous parcels of land.
