FAQ
Why is my water out?
Planned outages usually happen when we’re replacing a section of pipe, rather than fixing a burst or leak. You should have received a letter explaining this would happen and when. If you didn’t, chances are it’s an unplanned outage.
EDUCATION
Where does it come from?

CAREERS
We take pride in making Wellington Water a great place to work.
We're looking for people who are passionate about being part of a team that delivers essential services to our communities.
