⚠ PLANNED WATER OUTAGE – WEDNESDAY 13 MAY MT COOK ⚠

The Team from Wellington Water

As part of the pipelines project in Wallace Street, a new watermain needs to be connected to the network. This means we have to turn off the supply between 10am and 2pm on Wednesday 13 May, affecting properties on Wallace Street, Wright Street, Finlay Street and Westland Street in Mt Cook.

The map below indicates which properties will be affected, some will have interruption to supply while others will experience loss of pressure.
The water will be back on as soon as possible, but we recommend you fill up some containers with water before the time above and avoid running your dishwasher, washing machine etc. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
