Wellington CBD Wastewater Programme
Wellington City Council has invested in a major programme of work to upgrade, renew and reconfigure part of the rising main and pump station network in the CBD.
If you have any questions about this work, please contact:
Wellington Water, 04 912 4400
We are currently completing works on Wakefield Street:
- Upgrading Pump Station 6 which sits underneath the driveway of the Michael Fowler Centre
- Connecting the new mains on Wakefield Street and Victoria Street to the pump station
These works are expected to be completed by May 2026.
We are also in the planning stages for future works:
- Renewing the wastewater main which continues up Victoria Street and into Dixon Street
- Renewing the wastewater main which runs along Oriental Parade and up Kent Terrace
- Upgrading the rest of the major CBD pump stations
These projects will increase the capacity and resilience of the CBD’s wastewater network, providing additional options in case of bursts or overflows and reducing the risk of wastewater being discharged into the harbour.
We have coordinated with other civil and infrastructure projects in the area, including Te Ngākau Precinct, to minimise the disruption to residents and businesses.
If you have any questions about this project, please contact: tengakau@wcc.govt.nz.
The contractors undertaking this work are E N Ramsbottom Ltd and G P Friel Ltd.
