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

Wellington Water advises that residents of all properties on Thompson Street, Mt Cook, must boil their water before it is used for drinking, food preparation or dental hygiene.

Once the  burst pipe on Thompson Street is repaired, there is a low risk that the water has been contaminated with bacteria. The bacteria can be killed by boiling which is why a boil water notice has been issued as a precaution.

We will advise once the repair is completed and water service has been restored. This boil water notice is in effect from 2pm Friday 13th June 2025 until further notice.

Wellington Water, 04 912 4400

Current Status

The South Wairarapa District Council sought public feedback on various wastewater treatment options in February 2025. The consultation period has now closed with no proposed changes to the current consent. The reconsent application has now been lodged.

 

 

Why do you need to apply for a new consent?

The Lake Ferry Wastewater Treatment Plant’s resource consent is due to expire in September 2025. The consent helps ensure that the treatment plant is operated and managed in a way that minimises any detrimental environmental effects and public health risks. We require a resource consent to legally operate the plant.

The new resource consent needs to be lodged by March 2025, to be able to be in place prior to the expiry of the existing consent in September 2025.
