WASTEWATER OVERFLOW - PROSSER STREET, TITAHI BAY
Wellington Water crews responding to a wastewater overflow on Prosser Street, Titahi Bay

Our team have responded to a wastewater overflow at the corner of Prosser Street and Titahi Bay Road.  This is the result of a burst wastewater pipe.

Excavation is currently underway. The pump station is operating but will need to be shutdown before repair. Plans to divert the wastewater flow away from the pipe is being developed as the pipe will also need to be shutdown before repair.

There has been an earlier discharge into the stormwater network. This has now stopped with sucker trucks managing the flow, preventing wastewater entering the stormwater network. Signage has been placed at the outlets into the harbour. Traffic management has been set up on Titahi Bay Road. One southbound lane has been closed.

A further update will be provided at approximately 11 am.

An existing wastewater pipe which runs down the slope from Newlands to State Highway 2 is at risk of slipping and requires replacement. 

 

To address the risk, on behalf of Wellington City Council, Wellington Water are designing a replacement suspended pipe bridge to minimize the risk of future failures, prevent wastewater overflows into the harbour, and increase the resilience of the wastewater network.  

 

Works are expected in early 2026.
