BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED - THOMPSON STREET, MOUNT COOK
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.

Our asset management approach

We are currently managing more than $7b of assets that deliver essential services for our councils and communities.

The three waters assets are uniquely challenging to manage. They are mainly located underground; many are now near or past the end of their economic lives; and the ground they are located in is subject to earthquakes and other natural hazards.

We are maturing our approach to asset management as we go and as we continue to develop a deeper understanding of the state and condition of the assets, the extent of which also relies on the level of funding we are allocated for these activities.
