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.

Wellington Water advises that the boil water notice has been lifted for residents in 81 - 125 (odd numbered) and 90 - 118 (even numbered) Montgomery Ave, all of Cathie Place, and all of Stockden Place in Karori.

The public network has been flushed and tested over the last 72 hours. Testing results over this period have come back all clear.

Residents supplied by a privately owned water tank need to carry out flushing before use. 

If you’re returning to your home, please run a cold tap to flush your pipes and any appliances that are connected to the water supply.

Hot water cylinders and header tanks may need to be drained and refilled.

We thank all residents for their understanding, patience and co-operation over the last few days.
