As many residents on Wellington’s south coast know, a liner was successfully installed in a ruptured pipe under Mt Albert, after a high-tech international collaboration, and is now conveying sludge from Moa Point to our de-watering plant near the Southern Landfill.

To help ensure sludge trucks won’t be needed to protect the marine environment again, the second ruptured pipe under Mt Albert has been lined as back-up in the case of failure and for regular maintenance.

Here we have Jaden and Andrew from our contractors on this job, Brian Perry Civil and Hadlee Brunton, running a pressure test with water on the second pipe as part of the commissioning process. The 5-hour test was successful and this back-up pipe will soon be fully operational.

A big thanks to everyone involved in this massive collaborative effort!

Full fares will return across the region on July 1 now that New Zealand has moved to alert level 1 and physical distancing restrictions have been lifted.

Fares, including the handling of cash, were temporarily suspended to support the Government’s public health response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Metlink has been working very closely with the Government on the safest and fairest time to reintroduce full fares to passengers across the region.

Advice from the Ministry of Health has confirmed it is safe to handle cash, provided this is done responsibly. Good hand hygiene remains essential, with passengers and staff continuing to wash or sanitise their hands as soon as they can during, before and after travel. To learn more, read the full release on our website below.
