Major weather event - Heavy rainfall for the wider Wellington region until tomorrow night.

Wellington Water crews are continuing to respond to a band of heavy rain causing surface flooding and network impacts across the Wellington and South Wairarapa regions today.

With bad weather expected for the wider Wellington region from this afternoon until tomorrow night, crews are proactively checking hotspots and vulnerable sites, and clearing out stormwater intakes as it is safe to do so.

Crews are working as quickly as they can, but we are asking residents to be patient with us as response times in some locations are impacted by road closures.
