Work in your area
We’re constantly working to maintain an efficient and robust water network, so occasionally there may be work in your area. You can explore our current and upcoming work, water outages and any overflows on our interactive map.
We manage drinking water, stormwater, and wastewater services in the Wellington region.
An important part of our work is promoting water conservation and sustainability.
We're also working with local councils and communities to help make sure people have access to emergency water in the event of a major earthquake.
