We’re seeking community feedback on proposals to upgrade the wastewater system that serves Porirua and northern Wellington.

The condition of the wastewater network and the wastewater treatment plant is contributing to poor water quality in Porirua Harbour, local streams and the coastal environment.

We need to renew the discharge consents for the treatment plant, as the current ones expire in 2020. We also need to address bigger issues with the ageing network including wet weather overflows and dry weather leakages into the harbour and waterways. That’s why we’re proposing to prioritise upgrades to the network, as part of a long-term programme to improve wastewater management.

We would love to hear what you think about this approach.

Emergency Mobile Alerts are not meant to replace other emergency alerts, or the need to take action after natural warnings.

You still need to be prepared for an emergency and you should not wait to get an alert before you act. If you feel your life is in danger, don’t wait for an official warning. Take immediate action.

After a pretty hot week last week, some #waterlovers emerged from the suburb of Timberlea in Upper Hutt to take out the suburb of the week title.

Keep up the good work Hutt Valley - two weeks running. Can a Wellington or Porirua suburb take out the win this week?

Our top #loveeverydrop water saving tip for the week is to group plants in your garden into high or low water users, you can then design a watering pattern that is better for your plants and one that will also reduce the amount of water wastage.
