Wellington Water update - Heavy rain and impact on regions waste water treatment plants

Hutt City Council

The heavy rain yesterday has caused wastewater overflows from all Wellington Water wastewater treatment plants last night (Moa Point, Western, Seaview and Porirua). These overflows are partially treated wastewater, highly diluted and are discharged at normal discharge points.

There has also been overflows from a number of wastewater pumping stations and manholes throughout the entire region.

Please keep out of any flood water as it may be contaminated with wastewater or surface pollution (as well as possibly hiding hazards such as open manholes or ditches). If you see issues, call Council on 570 6666 to report it.


Please avoid swimming or collecting seafood from harbours, rivers and streams for 48 hours after heavy rain.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
