Water treatment diversion outlet

The Team from Wellington Water

Have you been for a walk along the Hutt River recently, near Queens Drive, and noticed the new water treatment diversion outlet?

This outfall is part of the construction around the pipeline for ultraviolet (UV) treatment at Waterloo. Water that cannot be treated by UV at Waterloo is diverted and discharged into the Hutt River at this outlet.

Work around the pipeline is nearly complete. Roads works around the CBD/central residential area finished in early January 2018. There are still some minor activities taking place until the end of January around the Waterloo treatment plant, as we finish the final stages of the pump upgrades.

For more information about the UV pipeline check out wellingtonwater.co.nz... and don't forget to check out the info sign by the water treatment diversion outlet next time you're walking by the Hutt River (near Queens Drive).

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!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
