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.

Response

We can confirm that we have received a draft copy of the report from FieldForce4.

We are working through the draft findings and recommendations of the report with WCC. We have provided WCC with our feedback. So, it’s not appropriate for us to comment on the report while it is in draft. We have six shareholding councils, so any changes to the way we deliver services will need to be discussed by all our shareholders.   

In the meantime, we are focused on supporting the region to get through what could be a tricky summer, finding and fixing as many leaks as we can, and providing our councils with their long-term planning advice.
