More work is required, and to help with this there are currently two major local road closures in the CBD.
• Willis St is CLOSED between Vivian St and Manners St
• Ghuznee St remains CLOSED between The Terrace and Victoria St
Please expect significant delays through the CBD, particularly on Vivian St. SH1 traffic should use Cambridge Tce, Wakefield St, Jervois Quay, Waterloo Quay and Aotea Quay as alternative routes during this time.
We are working with local businesses and residents who have been incredibly accommodating, and thank them for their patience and support as we work to repair the pipe.
Wastewater is still overflowing into the harbour, and the rāhui is still in place (see map). Please continue to stay out of the water, and do not go fishing or collect seafood.
We also thank residents and businesses in the affected area for doing everything they can to reduce their water use.
Hi, we had to be away during the week and have left it late to buy a tree - anyone know of any for sale locally? Thanks! Carol.

The decorations make it hard for them to fly, eat and drink. The problem was first reported in 2017 and happens around the Christmas and New Year period.

The discharge is the result of a collapse in a tunnel that is part of the wastewater network in the CBD area. The wastewater is entering the harbour near the dive platform, and Whairepo lagoon near Te Papa.
Wellington Water has mobilised all our temporary systems to contain the wastewater but they will not be enough. Regrettably wastewater will enter the harbour at Frank Kitts Park/Taranaki Dive Platform by our emergency overflow point.
At this stage it is unknown how long this will last for, or the volumes of wastewater that will be discharged. We are working to try to divert the flows through other parts of the network.
We have staff currently out working with residents and businesses to advise how they can help by conserving water to reduce wastewater flows.
We are working with stakeholders and will be providing regular updates to ensure that they are able to keep the public informed.
I have a 8x4 sheet of white melamine faced chipboard and a 8x4 sheet of MDF board ideal for shelving. I had some cabinetry delivered today and this was used to protect.
These sheets are outside on my front porch and I'm worried in case it rains again so if you interested in these sheets … View moreI have a 8x4 sheet of white melamine faced chipboard and a 8x4 sheet of MDF board ideal for shelving. I had some cabinetry delivered today and this was used to protect.
These sheets are outside on my front porch and I'm worried in case it rains again so if you interested in these sheets please pm to pick up asap.
Please note some of the corners are chipped but otherwise good for shelving and best of all are Free!
Merry Christmas from Caroline
Ghuznee St is now also closed between Willis and Victoria Streets so our contractors can pump. Please avoid the area and use an alternate route.
At 2pm Taranaki Whānui will be placing a rāhui at the discharge. We would like to invite all members of the public to attend this process at Whairepo … View moreGhuznee St is now also closed between Willis and Victoria Streets so our contractors can pump.

We anticipate the wastewater overflow will continue over the next few days. We continue to urge the public to stay out of the harbour, avoiding any splash zones near the waterfront. This includes no fishing or collecting shellfish. Signs are in place along the waterfront.

Residents and businesses in the CBD are advised to reduce water use to avoid water entering the wastewater network.
Crews at the Dixon Street site are continuing to investigate and unblock the wastewater tunnel. At this stage Dixon Street is the only road closed.
The site has been made safe, and we are investigating the blockage.
We can confirm that we are overflowing into the harbour at Whairepo Lagoon, and the Taranaki dive platform is also expected to overflow soon.
We are urging people to stay out of the harbour between the Port and Point Jerningham.
