DIXON ST UPDATE 11AM
Following emergency works at Dixon Street yesterday, crews have worked through the night on options to divert wastewater around the blocked areas. 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.
Poll: Have you kept trinkets from your life?
Many of us are sentimental about our childhoods and lives, and some even collect things to remember moments or people.

This is a tough one, neighbours, can you figure out all of them?
Before any changes, I’m a garlic or spice.
My first is altered and I’m a hand-warming device.
My second is changed and I’m trees in full bloom.
The next letter change makes a deathly old tomb.
Change the fourth to make a fruit of the vine.
Change the last for a chart plotted with lines.
What was I? What did I become? What did I turn out to be?
