If you want to be proactive yourself, you could print a few copies of the attached notice and do a letterbox drop in your own street, even if it’s just five houses on either side of you and a few across the road. That’s what being a good neighbour is all about!
High-tech repair solution for Moa Point pipelines delayed by Covid-19 response

"Wellington Water has worked with a leading international engineering firm to develop an innovative solution to repair the high pressure sludge pipelines between the Moa Point Wastewater Treatment Plant and the Carey’s Gully landfill. However the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic will delay its installation.
The repair presents a significant engineering challenge, as it must be completed within the 1.8 km section of the pipelines running through a tunnel deep beneath Mt Albert. The solution that has been developed is a polyester woven liner which will be winched from one end of each pipe to the other, then expanded to essentially act as a new pipeline within the old.
The liner will be installed through the full length of the pipelines under Mt Albert, where they are most inaccessible. This will be the largest-scale deployment of this technology in Australasia.
Once in Wellington, the estimated timeframe for installation of the pipe liner is eight days.
Wellington Water CEO Colin Crampton says due to restrictions on business imposed this week by the German government, delivery of the liner by the supplier has been pushed back.
“This is a high-quality, robust and resilient solution that will get the pipelines back up and running, and reduce the risk of further bursts. It’s a high-tech specialist product which is not manufactured in New Zealand. Unfortunately, due the importance of protecting their workforce and community from the spread of Covid-19, production at our supplier’s factory has slowed.”
Mr Crampton says that current estimates are for the liners to arrive in Wellington by mid-May.
“We appreciate the ongoing patience and understanding of the communities in the area. Trucking operations are not ideal from anyone’s perspective, but they are successfully keeping millions of litres of wastewater from flowing into Cook Strait,” says Mr Crampton.
Mr Crampton says the long-term approach should be to decommission the underground sludge pipelines entirely.
“The solution we have developed has a working life of 10 years. This provides an opportunity for Wellington City Council to receive advice on what is the best way to manage sludge going forward. We are now developing alternative options for Council to consider which would enable us to stop disposing of sludge into the landfill entirely.”

With the the information we have available as of yesterday, I would like to offer our regular classes on Saturday 21 March 2020 (Aro Valley @ 9 am & Brooklyn @ 10.30 am). However, I would like to reduce the numbers attending to ensure we are maintaining good social distancing practices (2 meters). For Aro Valley, I will limit the class size to a max of 15 people and for Brooklyn, class size to 20 people.
In an attempt to make this available, requesting that you contact me directly to register your space for the specific location by 5pm today (providing your contact number/email - first in/first served). I will then confirm with those registered this evening (advise others once the spaces are filled). Once confirmed, I would like to offer payments to be made by A/P to limit the use of cash.
If registering to attend, please note information below:

Please think of those in our community that may have compromised immune systems, are pregnant, elderly and/or more susceptible
Just to note, should circumstance change as per advice provided by the government and or MoH, we may have to cancel the classes. I will keep you informed accordingly. As an alternative and should it be possible, I will try to make a class available for Saturday online (tbc).
