Residents advised to avoid the the Porirua Stream from Grenada Village including Tawa to the outlet at the mouth of the Porirua Harbour until further notice

Wellington Water crews stopped a wastewater overflow in Grenada Village which flows to the Porirua Stream. Residents are asked to avoid the the Porirua Stream from Grenada Village including Tawa to the outlet at the mouth of the Porirua Harbour until further notice.

As untreated wastewater entered the stream, these areas are unsuitable for the public for wading in, fishing, or gathering food from. Signs have been put up and sampling will be undertaken tomorrow morning.

Boil water advisory for Featherston is lifted

Wellington Water advises that the boil water advisory for Featherston has been lifted following consultation with Regional Public Health and South Wairarapa District Council.

All residents should run their cold taps for 5 minutes prior to using the tap water. Flush any appliances e.g. coffee machines, that are connected to the water supply. Hot water cylinders and header tanks may need to be drained and refilled.

We are in the process of re-filling and chlorinating the main reservoir that supplies Featherston, and will likely have this online early next week. While this is brought back online we will continue to sample the water supply to ensure the supply continues to be safe to drink. The work to bring the reservoir back online won’t have an impact on the water supply.
