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.

Media Release: Featherston and Greytown asked to limit water use until further notice

Residents of Featherston and Greytown are again asked to conserve water until further notice to prevent another interruption to supply due to heavy rainfall.

“Heavy rainfall and high river levels has resulted in high levels of cloudy water in the bores supplying Greytown and Featherston. This is similar to the events last week which resulted in an unexpected interruption to the water supply,” says Laurence Edwards, Chief Advisor Drinking Water, Wellington Water.

“To prevent this from happening again, we’re asking the community to help by limiting water use as much as possible until further notice.”

“These measures have been taken to ensure that there is enough clean, clear, and safe drinking water for the community.”
