Garden watering restrictions are now in place

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.

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!
