Boil Water Notice lifted for all of Thompson Street and Nairn Street, Mount Cook
Wellington Water advises that the boil water notice has been lifted for all of Thompson Street and 77 Nairn Street, Mount Cook as of Tuesday, 17 June.
We acknowledge it has been disruptive over the last few days. We want to thank all impacted residents for their understanding, patience, and co-operation during this time.
The public network has been flushed and tested over the last 72 hours. Testing results of the water quality over this period have come back confirming that water is now safe to drink without boiling.
We are advising residents who have been away and are returning home to run a cold tap for a few minutes to flush their pipes and any appliances connected to the water supply. Header tanks should be drained and refilled.
For further information or concerns, contact customer@wellingtonwater.co.nz or call 04 912 4400.
