Update.. back to normal, repairs complete: THANK YOU!
⚠REPAIRED... MAJOR WASTEWATER OUTAGE – KAIWHARAWHARA ⚠ Update 9.30pm.
The team has successfully repaired the wastewater pipe and have now returned the rising main back to normal operation while managing to contain the waste flow from further discharge during construction by diverting to the Thorndon Street pump station.
This means all residents in the map below can now return to normal usage in your homes! Thank you everyone for conserving waste usage and helping us minimise the impact to the environment.
⚠MAJOR WASTEWATER OUTAGE – KAIWHARAWHARA ⚠
A wastewater pipe has burst outside 17 School Road Kaiwharawhara, as a result waste is making its way to the Kaiwharawhara Stream.
While the team is working to repair the burst pipe we are appealing to all residents within Kaiwharawhara Road, Lower South/East part of Khandallah and the North/East part of Wadestown (properties highlighted in the map below), to please minimise flushing of toilets (essential only) and use of your inside drains as that will reduce the impact of waste discharging into the harbour while the team promptly repair the burst pipe.
Crews are mobilising to start digging and repairing the pipe. Sucker trucks are also onsite to minimise/try to stop further discharge into the stream while we commence repairing the wastewater pipe.
