BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED - THOMPSON STREET, MOUNT COOK
BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED - THOMPSON 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.

Garden watering restrictions are in place!

Garden watering restrictions are in place... yes really!

Q: How do you know when garden watering restrictions take effect in Wellington, Lower Hutt and Porirua?

A: It’s raining.

Well, it’s not quite that bad, but yes garden watering restrictions in these cities came into effect with Daylight Saving (24 September 2017). They’ll be in place until the end of Daylight Saving (01 April 2018), unless – we have an awesomely long hot summer and have to keep them in place for a bit longer.

Upper Hutt garden watering restrictions apply all year round.

The restrictions allow the use of one unattended garden watering system or sprinkler, between the hours of 6-8am and 7-9pm, on odd dates of the month (if you live at an odd-numbered street address) or even dates of the month (if you live at an even-numbered street address).

We advertise that the restrictions have kicked off, so that people know to do the right thing once the weather warms up – hopefully soon – and then we’ll increase the advertising to help us manage our summer water demand.
