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.

Wellington Water launches new southern service depot

Wellington Water marked the opening of its southern depot this week, with a breakfast meeting attended by the teams that will be based at the Rongotai location, along with representatives from Wellington City Council and Wellington Water’s board.

Depot chief Alistair Forsyth took the opportunity to recognise the long service to the water industry of Ben Matthews, Cameron Hawkins, Jason Dearman and Donny Haenga – each of whom have worked on repairing the region’s bursts and leaks for more than 15 years.

Around 20 water and drainage service people will be operating from the Rongotai depot, while the CCTV inspection team is still based at Carey’s Gully.

Customer Operations Group GM Kevin Locke told the gathering how he’d come to appreciate the significance of playing a role in looking after water, which is so fundamental to life. This theme was picked up on by Wellington City Council eastern ward councillor Chis Calvi-Freeman.

“Where there’s water, there’s life; where there’s no water, there are complaints,” he said. Both he and Wellington Water Board chair David Wright remarked on the importance of being customer focused in delivering water services, and acknowledged the care and commitment shown by frontline service teams.

The Rongotai depot, which is shared with our alliance partner Fulton Hogan, will serve all of Wellington City except the northern suburbs, which will be handled from the Porirua depot. Services for the Hutt Valley will operate from the depot in Pomare.
