WASTEWATER OVERFLOW - PROSSER STREET, TITAHI BAY
Wellington Water crews responding to a wastewater overflow on Prosser Street, Titahi Bay

Our team have responded to a wastewater overflow at the corner of Prosser Street and Titahi Bay Road.  This is the result of a burst wastewater pipe.

Excavation is currently underway. The pump station is operating but will need to be shutdown before repair. Plans to divert the wastewater flow away from the pipe is being developed as the pipe will also need to be shutdown before repair.

There has been an earlier discharge into the stormwater network. This has now stopped with sucker trucks managing the flow, preventing wastewater entering the stormwater network. Signage has been placed at the outlets into the harbour. Traffic management has been set up on Titahi Bay Road. One southbound lane has been closed.

A further update will be provided at approximately 11 am.

Draft standards and specifications released for feedback

Wellington Water’s Regional Standard for Water Services and the Regional Specification for Water Services have been revised and are available for your feedback. All feedback must be received by 5:00 pm, 28 June 2021.

These two documents describe the minimum standards and specifications for the design and construction of the public stormwater, wastewater and water supply systems in the Wellington Region. They provide a consistent method of design and construction for water services so that publicly owned assets are of good quality and fit for purpose.

We are also releasing, at the same time, drafts of Wellington Water’s Regional As-built Specification and the Regional Draughting Manual. These two documents contain specifications for the collection and delivery of data and information for new installations, upgrades, or replacements that will help facilitate Wellington Water’s asset management.

All four of these draft documents can be downloaded here.

Please check out the Frequently Asked Questions and a Summary Table of Information that describes each proposed revision. There is also an online form for providing feedback.
