Cheviot Road, Lowry Bay community water station

The Team from Wellington Water

Work has just begun on a Lowry Bay community water station: wellingtonwater.co.nz...

This work is part of the above ground emergency water network that we're building around the region, which will supply water to each community from day 8 following an earthquake.

The network consists of at least 22 water stations which are strategically located around the Wellington region. These will distribute water to bladders that are within walking distance of your house.

For the first 7 days following an earthquake you'll be relying on your own stored water.
You need 20L of stored water per person, per day, for at least 7 days.

For more information about the emergency water network, and how the community water station will operate from day 8 following an earthquake, check out the emergency water section on our website: wellingtonwater.co.nz...
