Severn Street water outages – Public Meeting tonight at Island Bay School Hall 6:00pm – 7:00pm
Sorry for the short notice – but we want to hear from you.
Following two consecutive days of lengthy water outages on Severn Street, we’d like to engage with the community about our planning to replace the aged watermain.
Please come along to the Island Bay School Hall tonight at 6:00pm to talk about how the water outages have affected you and what to expect from our watermain renewal project.
If you are unable to attend tonight and would like to provide feedback – please email gen.drake@wellingtonwater.co.nz
