BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED - THOMPSON STREET, MOUNT COOK
BOIL WATER NOTICE LIFTED - THOMPSON STREET, MOUNT COOK

Wellington Water advises that the boil water notice has been lifted for all of Thompson Street and 77 Nairn Street, Mount Cook as of Tuesday, 17 June. 

We acknowledge it has been disruptive over the last few days. We want to thank all impacted residents for their understanding, patience, and co-operation during this time.

The public network has been flushed and tested over the last 72 hours. Testing results of the water quality over this period have come back confirming that water is now safe to drink without boiling. 

We are advising residents who have been away and are returning home to run a cold tap for a few minutes to flush their pipes and any appliances connected to the water supply. Header tanks should be drained and refilled.

Construction commences October 2023 and is expected to take around 10-12 months to complete.

  • Standard hours of work are from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
  • While our crews are working in the road corridor, there will be some disruption to traffic.
  • Traffic management will be set up while this work is being completed, with detours in place.

This project is going to improve the network in your community and protect the health of the environment and the public, so we appreciate your understanding and cooperation.

 

This project will renew and upgrade sections of pipe in the Gracefield catchment wastewater network that have been identified as being in poor condition.

The works will be completed using a combination of trenchless structural lining and patch repairs. Open cut repair will be used where structural lining is not possible.

 Approximately 3500 metres of wastewater pipes are being renewed and upgraded.
