Severe weather conditions may impact the network

Due to severe weather conditions forecasted from today, 30 April until Friday 2 May, there may be impacts on the network, 

Heavy rain increases the chance of excess stormwater entering the wastewater network, which it doesn’t have capacity for. This means there is a higher risk of wastewater overflows during wet weather events or emergencies such as major power cuts.

Our operations team are checking known risk areas and working to ensure that the stormwater network will be running as smoothly as possible.

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!
