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?
On average we supply over 140 million litres (ML) of water per day to Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, Porirua and Wellington, and 4.1 million litres of water per day to Greytown, Featherston, Martinborough and Pirinoa.

FAQ
What is stormwater?
Stormwater is rain which has run off hard surfaces such as roofs, roads and carparks. Stormwater is not treated and the water ends up in streams and harbours.
