Wellington Water crews responding to a heavy rain event and surface flooding
Wellington Water crews responding to a heavy rain event and surface flooding

Wellington Water crews are actively responding to a band of heavy rain causing surface flooding and network impacts across the Wellington, Kāpiti Coast and South Wairarapa regions today.

Reports of flooding have been received this morning in Stokes Valley, Naenae, Upper Hutt, Plimmerton and Porirua areas. We currently have around 5 crews deployed across affected areas and working closely with local councils to respond as conditions evolve.

Heavy rainfall has led to surface flooding on key transport routes,please see NZTAs latest update for road closures.

Additional resourcing has been activated from across the region and are focusing on known flooding hotspots.

Crews are working as quickly as they can, but we are advising residents to bear with us as response times in some locations are being impacted by restricted road access.

Wellington Water is continuing to monitor conditions closely and will respond to all service requests as they arise.

We are keeping the public and impacted communities up to date via our website and social media channels. For further updates, please check the Wellington Water Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Dgm5dd54q/

If you have any questions about this work, please contact:

Wellington Water, 04 912 4400

Commencing October 2023, we will be working on improving the safety of manhole covers in stormwater and wastewater networks in the Upper Hutt City area on behalf of Hutt City Council.

The work will be taking place in the road reserve  as well as in some private properties.

It  will involve some initial investigations followed by installing safety grills to manholes to provide protection against falling into manholes in case the manhole cover becomes dislodged in a storm event.

The work will take place inside the manholes so will not require reinstatement. 

However there will be some restricted parking and traffic management around the worksites.
