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.

We will be carrying out the upgrade in three stages. Traffic management through these stages will vary between single lane traffic, controlled by temporary traffic lights and full road closure over short sections.

We apologise for this inconvenience and will try to keep access open to properties where it is possible to do so. However, there will be stages where there will be some restriction.

There will also be some on-street parking restrictions at stages along Arlington Street and into Torrens Terrace. We will work to keep these to a minimum. We ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us get our work done safely and as quickly as possible
