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.

The Kaitoke Weir allows us to abstract raw water from the Hutt River and send it to the Te Mārua Water Treatment Plant.

This weir requires some maintenance work which will be undertaken in March and April 2024. During this time, members of the public will not be able to access the weir.

The Kaitoke Weir Track and the Te Mārua Vehicle Access are both scheduled to reopen mid-May 2024. 

The Norbert Creek Track will still be accessible but please take extra care on the short road section.
