Reservoirs were able to manage the demand, and storage is recovering in reservoirs now that treatment plants are operational.
For Featherston and Greytown residents, as the reservoir that supplies your area is taking longer to recover, we would appreciate it if you could reduce your water consumption where you can. We’ll share another update when you can use water normally again. Thank you for your patience.
Thanks again for your patience as we worked through this power outage. We can confirm everything is up and running as it should be, and all residents in the Wellington region and South Wairarapa can continue with their regular water use.

We are investigating the wider network to ensure everything is operating as normal.
We continue to ask the wider Wellington region to be mindful of their water consumption, and ask South Wairarapa residents to continue to reduce their water consumption and avoid flushing their toilets. Reducing demand allows the assets to operate without added pressure when they come back online.
All of the critical assets including pumping stations and treatment plants have generators in operation as part of our resilience plan. We also have mobile generators available for other pumping stations.

I'm very pleased with myself - today I built a small woodshed. The iron was donated by Mark Chamberman and I had the wood in my shed. I think the result is great.
