Does anyone know of a appliance repair person who does emergency call outs?? The fridge is a Samsung
The rāhui on inner Wellington Harbour has been lifted!
Thanks to everyone who respected the rāhui. Swimming, paddling, fishing etc in Oriental Bay and the area covered by the rāhui, from Ngauranga to Point Halswell, is all good.

Thanks to everyone who respected the rāhui. Swimming, paddling, fishing etc in Oriental Bay and the area covered by the rāhui, from Ngauranga to Point Halswell, is all good.
However, please note that due to a separate network issue, signs advising against swimming will remain in place near the dive platform (from near Whairepo Lagoon Bridge to Clyde Quay/the Overseas Passenger Terminal), shown on the below map.
We’re carrying out daily monitoring of the water quality in these areas and will provide an update early next week.

We have managed to stop wastewater overflow into the harbour. We managed to successfully configure the network pump stations with the pumps on site, to pump down the storage tanks and are now able to cope with current flow. The system remains limited, and fragile.

We managed to successfully configure the network pump stations with the pumps on site, to pump down the storage tanks and are now able to cope with current flow. The system remains limited, and fragile.
Clean-up crews report low levels of visible material at the waterfront; water quality results show high levels of bacteria from Frank Kitts to the Overseas Passenger terminal; low levels at Oriental Bay. The rāhui will remain in place for at least four more days.
Crews are working again worked around the clock, preparing for the overground pipe that will run along Willis St.
We continue to advise people in the district to minimise their water use.
Road closures remain in place – Dixon from Victoria to MacDonald; Willis from Dixon to Vivian; Ghuznee from Victoria to the Terrace, and Vivian overnight (8pm – 8am).
Public response so far has been accepting, but some disgruntlement out there over disruption, the discharge, and impact on daily life. We’re working on ways to step up our engagement, and also looking ahead to the shape of things for the two months or so that the overground solution is in place, while we’re working on the permanent fix.
Road closure clarification: Dixon St will be closed from 9am Monday. Willis St is closed from just north of Dixon St; there will be access to Willis from Boulcott St to just before Dixon St - but no through traffic.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
