WASTEWATER OVERFLOW - PROSSER STREET, TITAHI BAY
Wellington Water crews responding to a wastewater overflow on Prosser Street, Titahi Bay

Our team have responded to a wastewater overflow at the corner of Prosser Street and Titahi Bay Road.  This is the result of a burst wastewater pipe.

Excavation is currently underway. The pump station is operating but will need to be shutdown before repair. Plans to divert the wastewater flow away from the pipe is being developed as the pipe will also need to be shutdown before repair.

There has been an earlier discharge into the stormwater network. This has now stopped with sucker trucks managing the flow, preventing wastewater entering the stormwater network. Signage has been placed at the outlets into the harbour. Traffic management has been set up on Titahi Bay Road. One southbound lane has been closed.

A further update will be provided at approximately 11 am.

Have your say on managing stormwater to reduce pollution

Wellington Water is inviting you to have your say on a draft strategy for reducing the discharge of pollution from the urban stormwater networks in Porirua, Wellington, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt. 

The draft Stormwater Management Strategy focuses on removing contamination at source, and planning improvements at a sub-catchment (suburb or neighbourhood) level. You can read more about it here

To help you understand the strategy, ask questions and provide feedback, Wellington Water is hosting three public workshops in February, two online and one in-person as follows:

  • 14 February 11:30-1:00pm (online) 
  • 15 February 12:00-1:30pm (online)
  • 16 February 5:30pm-7.30pm at Rutherford House, Mezzanine Level RHMZ2, Victoria University of Wellington, Pipitea campus, 33 Bunny Street.

 

If you’re keen to attend, please RSVP to stormwater@wellingtonwater.co.nz by Friday 10 February, letting us know which workshop you want to attend, and we will send an electronic notification with all the necessary details.
