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.

Test results - Lower Hutt water quality

Test results on Lower Hutt’s water supply have come back all clear.

Follow-up tests taken after a positive result from a water sample taken on Friday, show no e-coli in the water.

At this stage the testing laboratory is unable to confirm what caused the initial positive result at the inlet point of Naenae Reservoir on Friday 3 February. Wellington Water will continue investigating possible sources of contamination.

Chlorination of the water supply to all of Lower Hutt will continue until we have completed a full review of test results. This is to ensure we are taking the safest course of action, while minimising any impact on customers. We’ll provide further updates on the review process tomorrow.

Regional Public Health are satisfied with the measures put in place to ensure the water is safe and there is no need to boil it before drinking.
