WASTEWATER LEAK - PROSSER STREET, TITAHI BAY
Wellington Water crews responding to a wastewater leak on Prosser Street, Titahi Bay

Our team have responded to a wastewater leak at the corner of Prosser Street and Titahi Bay Road. 

Excavation is currently underway. The pump station is operating but will need to be shutdown before repair. Plans to divert the wastewater flow away from the pipe is being developed as the pipe will also need to be shutdown before repair.

There has been an earlier discharge into the stormwater network. This has now stopped with sucker trucks managing the flow, preventing wastewater entering the stormwater network. Signage has been placed at the outlets into the harbour and water quality sampling will be underway.

Traffic management has been set up on Titahi Bay Road. One southbound lane has been closed.

Published 26/06/2020

Boil water advisory for Featherston is lifted

Wellington Water advises that the boil water advisory for Featherston has been lifted following consultation with Regional Public Health and South Wairarapa District Council.

All residents should run their cold taps for 5 minutes prior to using the tap water. Flush any appliances e.g. coffee machines, that are connected to the water supply. Hot water cylinders and header tanks may need to be drained and refilled.

We are in the process of re-filling and chlorinating the main reservoir that supplies Featherston, and will likely have this online early next week. While this is brought back online we will continue to sample the water supply to ensure the supply continues to be safe to drink. The work to bring the reservoir back online won’t have an impact on the water supply.
