Our crews have stopped the overflow as of 12:30pm, 6 August, and are now working on the full repair.
Residents are asked to not swim in, fish, or collect kaimoana from the following areas until further notice:
- Hutt River/Te Awa Kairangi downstream of Silverstream, including the river mouth in Petone
- Petone beach
- Eastbourne beaches
While the wastewater overflow has been stopped, untreated wastewater was entering Hutt River/Te Awa Kairangi. This means that these areas are unsuitable for the public to swim, fish and collect food from. Water quality testing has begun and will continue for at least 72 hours from 12pm, 6 August, or until results return clear.
