There is an ongoing untreated wastewater discharge from Moa Point. We strongly recommend the public stay out of the water on the South coast of Wellington. Do not collect kai moana.

Wellington Water is responding to a significant incident at the Moa Point Wastewater Treatment Plant which has resulted in untreated wastewater discharging into Tarakena Bay on the south coast.

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.
