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.

 As part of our work to upgrade Upper Hutt's drinking water network and improve access to safe and health drinking water, we are getting underway with renewing the drinking water pipes in the Totara Park Road area.

The work is still in the design stages and this involves carrying out investigations to locate utility services in the area prior to renewing the water pipes.

Our crews will be excavating in your area from Monday 8 May to Friday 12 May 2023. Hours of work will generally be 8:00pm – 5:00am Monday to Friday.

To do this work we may need to dig trenches across driveways and pathways, but we won’t enter any private properties. We will restore driveways and pathways to, at least, their pre-work condition.

The construction works are expected to commence in September  2023 and take around four to five months to complete.
