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.

Paremata Bridge lane closure from Wednesday 29 June to Friday 1 July

Wellington Water will be carrying out urgent repairs to the water main located under the Paremata Bridge from Wednesday 29 June to Friday 1 July. The water main is leaking and needs repairing.

Work will begin at 9am on Wednesday 29 June and will be finished by 4pm Friday 1 July. The water main is located under the carriageway, which means that a lane in each direction will need to be closed while the work is carried out. To help minimise the impact for commuter traffic, work will be suspended during the morning and afternoon peak travel periods.

There may be some delays for traffic passing through the worksite and traffic management will be in place throughout. There will be no effect on water supplies while the repair work is carried out.
