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.

Investigations for the project were completed in January 2024.

Wellington Water and Porirua City Council are now working together to secure funding for the pipeline construction. This will be worked through as part of the Council’s long-term planning process.

 

 

Why are we doing this?

This project is part of a wider programme of work we are undertaking on behalf of Porirua City Council to upgrade the city's wastewater network, increasing its capacity and resilience for residential growth and protecting public health and that of Te Awarua-o-Porirua Harbour and local waterways.

 

What's involved?

The work involves installing a new pipe down the centre median of SH59 and partly adjacent to the rail corridor at the southern end of the works, and installing a connection into the new Porirua Central Wastewater Storage tank currently under construction. 

The project is currently in the investigations phase involving drilling bores and test pits along  pits along Papakowhai Road, Paremata Crescent and the centre median of SH59 to locate existing services.
