Following emergency works at Dixon Street yesterday, crews have worked through the night on options to divert wastewater around the blocked areas. More work is required, and to help with this there are currently two major local road closures in the CBD.

• Willis St is CLOSED between Vivian St and Manners St
• Ghuznee St remains CLOSED between The Terrace and Victoria St

Please expect significant delays through the CBD, particularly on Vivian St. SH1 traffic should use Cambridge Tce, Wakefield St, Jervois Quay, Waterloo Quay and Aotea Quay as alternative routes during this time.

We are working with local businesses and residents who have been incredibly accommodating, and thank them for their patience and support as we work to repair the pipe.

Wastewater is still overflowing into the harbour, and the rāhui is still in place (see map). Please continue to stay out of the water, and do not go fishing or collect seafood.

We also thank residents and businesses in the affected area for doing everything they can to reduce their water use.

Taranaki Whānui have placed a rāhui on swimming in the harbour this afternoon following a major wastewater discharge into the Wellington Harbour.

The discharge is the result of a collapse in a tunnel that is part of the wastewater network in the CBD area. The wastewater is entering the harbour near the dive platform, and Whairepo lagoon near Te Papa.

Wellington Water has mobilised all our temporary systems to contain the wastewater but they will not be enough. Regrettably wastewater will enter the harbour at Frank Kitts Park/Taranaki Dive Platform by our emergency overflow point.

At this stage it is unknown how long this will last for, or the volumes of wastewater that will be discharged. We are working to try to divert the flows through other parts of the network.

We have staff currently out working with residents and businesses to advise how they can help by conserving water to reduce wastewater flows.

We are working with stakeholders and will be providing regular updates to ensure that they are able to keep the public informed.
