Wellington Water crews stopped a wastewater overflow in Grenada Village which flows to the Porirua Stream. Residents are asked to avoid the the Porirua Stream from Grenada Village including Tawa to the outlet at the mouth of the Porirua Harbour until further notice.

As untreated wastewater entered the stream, these areas are unsuitable for the public for wading in, fishing, or gathering food from. Signs have been put up and sampling will be undertaken tomorrow morning.

Garden watering restrictions are now in place

Porirua, Wellington and Lower Hutt enter base restrictions during daylight savings (27 September - 4 April), this means you can only water your garden using a single watering system on odd/even dates depending on your house number, at certain times. For those of you in Upper Hutt, this applies year-round.

South Wairarapa also has year-round restrictions in place – these restrictions allow for garden watering on odd/even dates depending on your house number, and only applies to those on town supply.

Saving water now means we can keep our water reserves at a healthy level, so we can all enjoy water all summer long!
