First Buick and now Dowse Square

Hutt City Council

We're pleased to announce that the Dowse Square public water fountains are now open and ready to use. This follows the Buick Street public fountain reopening in June. Thanks for your patience while we installed the filtration and UV unit at Dowse Square. This system will treat the artesian water before it comes out of the tap.
At the flow-rate of water from the public fountain, the filters and the UV unit will provide effective barriers against contaminants such as giardia, cryptosporidium, campylobacter and E.coli. It also complies with the Drinking Water Standards of New Zealand, and will be monitored regularly with oversight from Regional Public Health.
Remember to make sure that your storage containers are clean before collecting your water!
You can also find out more about the filtration and UV treatment at our public fountains on the Wellington Water website, just scroll to the bottom of the page and click on 'No chlorine at public fountains' www.wellingtonwater.co.nz...
