There is an ongoing untreated wastewater discharge from Moa Point. We strongly recommend the public stay out of the water on the South coast of Wellington. Do not collect kai moana.

Wellington Water is responding to a significant incident at the Moa Point Wastewater Treatment Plant which has resulted in untreated wastewater discharging into Tarakena Bay on the south coast.

Drinking water safe to drink

Update: 15 November 2016, 2pm

Our drinking water is safe to drink and there is no need to boil it (unless you are making a cup of tea of course!).

The earthquake did cause some discolouration of water for some residents; this should have cleared by now, so if you do still have dirty water, please let your city council know.
