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.

Health and Safety Incident Reporting

Reporting an incident

It’s important a wide range health and safety incidents are reported, including risk identifications, as this helps us identify trends across the work we do.

If somebody is injured or nearly injured when working on a Wellington Water project/activity/asset, please report it as soon as possible using these web forms.

For more information, please refer to the Q-Pulse Web Reporting Training document (see below) or contact our Health & Safety team at safe@wellingtonwater.co.nz.

Thank you for your proactive reporting.

Please note: You will also need to let WorkSafe know about serious incidents or particularly hazardous work.

Notifying worksafe

You need to notify WorkSafe if a serious injury, illness or incident happened to a person or people carrying out work, or as a result of work that your business or organisation is responsible for.

If you're unsure of what needs to be notified, please read WorkSafe’s guide - What events need to be notified?

The ‘Notify WorkSafe’ tool will guide you through a series of questions to assist you with providing all the required information.
