WASTEWATER OVERFLOW

The Team from Wellington Water

UPDATE 3 - 6pm, 6/8

To protect the awa, a rahui has been placed from Silverstream to Parangarehu (Pencarrow). This includes Pito-one/Petone beach and Eastbourne beaches, please see the map attached to this post.

It remains advised to not swim, fish or collect kaimoana/food from this area. Signs have been posted along the river, at the river mouth, and at beaches. Water testing will continue for 72 hours from 12pm today.

Please note that the overflow was stopped at 12:30pm today, and we are no longer advising residents of Stokes Valley and Upper Hutt to conserve water due to the blockage and repair.

Thank you to all residents and community groups who have helped share information about this incident.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
