Porirua wastewater improvement project
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.
