Major weather event - Heavy rainfall for the wider Wellington region until tomorrow night.

Wellington Water crews are continuing to respond to a band of heavy rain causing surface flooding and network impacts across the Wellington and South Wairarapa regions today.

With bad weather expected for the wider Wellington region from this afternoon until tomorrow night, crews are proactively checking hotspots and vulnerable sites, and clearing out stormwater intakes as it is safe to do so.

Crews are working as quickly as they can, but we are asking residents to be patient with us as response times in some locations are impacted by road closures.

We will be carrying out the upgrade in three stages. Traffic management through these stages will vary between single lane traffic, controlled by temporary traffic lights and full road closure over short sections.

We apologise for this inconvenience and will try to keep access open to properties where it is possible to do so. However, there will be stages where there will be some restriction.

There will also be some on-street parking restrictions at stages along Arlington Street and into Torrens Terrace. We will work to keep these to a minimum. We ask you to please not park your vehicle within the coned areas. This will help us get our work done safely and as quickly as possible
