A large slip has come down in Lower Hutt, rupturing a gas line and taking out powerlines. Officers responded to calls of a landslip in Point Howard on Howard Point Rd about 9.50am today. Residents have been urged to stay indoors as the landslip has taken a chunk out of the residential road.
… View moreA large slip has come down in Lower Hutt, rupturing a gas line and taking out powerlines. Officers responded to calls of a landslip in Point Howard on Howard Point Rd about 9.50am today. Residents have been urged to stay indoors as the landslip has taken a chunk out of the residential road.
Wellington Water said the slip was caused by a burst water pipe last night and when it was assessed this morning it had dislodged a power pole.
“Fire and Emergency are on-site as the power lines are arcing on the road, and the road is closed. The slip has also caused a breach in a gas line, and the team is awaiting attendance from the Gas Utility.”
There is also a further leak on the drinking water pipe, but it cannot be repaired until the other utilities recommend it’s safe.
FENZ shift manager Chris Dalton says five fire service vehicles are there including three trucks and fire services are still working on trying to isolate the gas.
What you need to know:
- The council said there had been no deaths or injuries as a result of the slip.
- Fire and emergency were urging people to stay inside their homes while they assessed the situation to ensure power and gas services were safe.
- The council asked residents to conserve water, avoid flushing toilets and other unnecessary water usage.
- Houses have been evacuated and people are urged to avoid Howard Rd at Point Howard.
If any residents have safety concerns, they should call 111 immediately.

We are constantly reviewing the situation and will make changes to the traffic management if we can. Our aim is to get the works done as quickly and safely as possible.
We need to strengthen the Hutt Valley’s wastewater network to minimise the risk of overflows to the environment and mitigate the impacts of a large earthquake.
This project has thrown up multiple challenges and we’ve had to be innovative and pragmatic with how we get things done and manage traffic.
The work at Seaview Road is a priority and we are focused on this, so we can lift traffic restrictions and get everyone back to their normal routines when travelling in the area.
We’ll keep you posted as we progress works.
We've had questions about the traffic management in place on Seaview Road - here is a link to FAQs -www.wellingtonwater.co.nz......
