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.

About Us / Who We Are / Our Asset Management Approach

Our asset management approach

We are currently managing more than $7b of assets that deliver essential services for our councils and communities.

The three waters assets are uniquely challenging to manage. They are mainly located underground; many are now near or past the end of their economic lives; and the ground they are located in is subject to earthquakes and other natural hazards.

We are maturing our approach to asset management as we go and as we continue to develop a deeper understanding of the state and condition of the assets, the extent of which also relies on the level of funding we are allocated for these activities.
