Wellington Water crews stopped a wastewater overflow in Grenada Village which flows to the Porirua Stream. Residents are asked to avoid the the Porirua Stream from Grenada Village including Tawa to the outlet at the mouth of the Porirua Harbour until further notice.

As untreated wastewater entered the stream, these areas are unsuitable for the public for wading in, fishing, or gathering food from. Signs have been put up and sampling will be undertaken tomorrow morning.

The Kaitoke Weir allows us to abstract raw water from the Hutt River and send it to the Te Mārua Water Treatment Plant.

This weir requires some maintenance work which will be undertaken in March and April 2024. During this time, members of the public will not be able to access the weir.

The Kaitoke Weir Track and the Te Mārua Vehicle Access are both scheduled to reopen mid-May 2024. 

The Norbert Creek Track will still be accessible but please take extra care on the short road section.
