Exploratory harbour bores project update — drilling resumes

The Team from Wellington Water

With the New Year, the harbour bores project has resumed its drilling programme with the barge and drilling rig Tuhora heading back out.

Drilling is expected to continue for up to 30 days, weather dependent, at a new location near Somes Island.

We’ve chosen this site based on data from the first bore site which indicated that whilst the Waiwhetu aquifer has treatable quantities of freshwater in a viable yield, there is potential for better results at a second site.

This site also allows us to triangulate results using data on water from the land-based bore on Somes, which also draws on the Waiwhetu aquifer.

The barge and drilling rig has had modifications to the leg bases to ensure stability in the softer sea bed conditions.
