Urgent Boil Water Notice for parts of Newlands

The Team from Wellington Water

Wellington Water advises that all drinking water on 111-113 Glanmire Road, 231 Glanmire Road, 116 - 222 Glanmire Road, 36 - 46 Domett Street and 41-43 Domett Street, Newlands, must be boiled before being used for drinking, food preparation or brushing teeth.

Wellington Water advises that all drinking water on 111-113 Glanmire Road, 231 Glanmire Road, 116 - 222 Glanmire Road, 36 - 46 Domett Street and 41-43 Domett Street, Newlands, must be boiled before being used for drinking, food preparation or brushing teeth.

During a repair of a watermain on Glanmire Road this afternoon, a wastewater pipe was damaged and discharged some wastewater into the work trench.

As a precaution, we advise that water be boiled before consumption, as this is the best way to ensure the water is safe.

If you are washing dishes by hand, then boiled water should be used. If your dishwasher has a hot setting, it can be used to wash dishes. If it doesn’t have a hot setting, once it’s finished, rinse the dishes in a bleach solution afterwards (2 drops unscented household bleach per 1 litre of water). Allow the dishes to completely air dry. You can continue to do your laundry as you normally would.

A water tanker is in place on Glanmire Road for residents to use and bottled water has been dropped off to affected properties.

This boil water advisory is in effect immediately and will be in place until further notice but is expected for at least the next four days.

How to boil water for drinking:

Boiling will kill all disease-causing organisms.

- Bring water to a rolling boil (where bubbles appear in the centre and do not disappear when the water is stirred) for one minute or boil a full electric jug until it switches off.

- Cool water (do not use ice cubes to do this) and pour into clean container with a lid.

- Refrigerate until needed.

Babies, young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people who have weakened immune systems are more at risk of illness. If you get diarrhoea, vomiting and/or a fever, get advice from your doctor or contact Healthline (0800 611 116).

For more information contact Wellington City Council on 04 499 4444 or go to www.wellingtonwater.co.nz...
