A large slip has come down in Lower Hutt, rupturing a gas line and taking out powerlines. Officers responded to calls of a landslip in Point Howard on Howard Point Rd about 9.50am today. Residents have been urged to stay indoors as the landslip has taken a chunk out of the residential road.
… View moreA large slip has come down in Lower Hutt, rupturing a gas line and taking out powerlines. Officers responded to calls of a landslip in Point Howard on Howard Point Rd about 9.50am today. Residents have been urged to stay indoors as the landslip has taken a chunk out of the residential road.
Wellington Water said the slip was caused by a burst water pipe last night and when it was assessed this morning it had dislodged a power pole.
“Fire and Emergency are on-site as the power lines are arcing on the road, and the road is closed. The slip has also caused a breach in a gas line, and the team is awaiting attendance from the Gas Utility.”
There is also a further leak on the drinking water pipe, but it cannot be repaired until the other utilities recommend it’s safe.
FENZ shift manager Chris Dalton says five fire service vehicles are there including three trucks and fire services are still working on trying to isolate the gas.
What you need to know:
- The council said there had been no deaths or injuries as a result of the slip.
- Fire and emergency were urging people to stay inside their homes while they assessed the situation to ensure power and gas services were safe.
- The council asked residents to conserve water, avoid flushing toilets and other unnecessary water usage.
- Houses have been evacuated and people are urged to avoid Howard Rd at Point Howard.
If any residents have safety concerns, they should call 111 immediately.
