A large slip has come down in Lower Hutt, rupturing a gas line and taking out powerlines. Officers responded to calls of a landslip in Point Howard on Howard Point Rd about 9.50am today. Residents have been urged to stay indoors as the landslip has taken a chunk out of the residential road.
… View moreA large slip has come down in Lower Hutt, rupturing a gas line and taking out powerlines. Officers responded to calls of a landslip in Point Howard on Howard Point Rd about 9.50am today. Residents have been urged to stay indoors as the landslip has taken a chunk out of the residential road.
Wellington Water said the slip was caused by a burst water pipe last night and when it was assessed this morning it had dislodged a power pole.
“Fire and Emergency are on-site as the power lines are arcing on the road, and the road is closed. The slip has also caused a breach in a gas line, and the team is awaiting attendance from the Gas Utility.”
There is also a further leak on the drinking water pipe, but it cannot be repaired until the other utilities recommend it’s safe.
FENZ shift manager Chris Dalton says five fire service vehicles are there including three trucks and fire services are still working on trying to isolate the gas.
What you need to know:
- The council said there had been no deaths or injuries as a result of the slip.
- Fire and emergency were urging people to stay inside their homes while they assessed the situation to ensure power and gas services were safe.
- The council asked residents to conserve water, avoid flushing toilets and other unnecessary water usage.
- Houses have been evacuated and people are urged to avoid Howard Rd at Point Howard.
If any residents have safety concerns, they should call 111 immediately.

Pi Day is on March 14, and any day that combines fun, education, and pie is a day worth celebrating!

Pi, also known by the Greek letter “π,” is a constant value used in math that represents the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter, which is just about 3.14….15…9265359… (and so on). Not only that, but the fourteenth of March is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, so all together it’s nothing short of a mathematician’s delight.
Internet is something we need these days for work, study, keeping in touch with loved ones or just to watch a movie! It's another bill to manage right?!
With the cost of living rising, we want to know how much your broadband bill is setting you back each month?

We are constantly reviewing the situation and will make changes to the traffic management if we can. Our aim is to get the works done as quickly and safely as possible.
We need to strengthen the Hutt Valley’s wastewater network to minimise the risk of overflows to the environment and mitigate the impacts of a large earthquake.
This project has thrown up multiple challenges and we’ve had to be innovative and pragmatic with how we get things done and manage traffic.
The work at Seaview Road is a priority and we are focused on this, so we can lift traffic restrictions and get everyone back to their normal routines when travelling in the area.
We’ll keep you posted as we progress works.
We've had questions about the traffic management in place on Seaview Road - here is a link to FAQs -www.wellingtonwater.co.nz......

We have an ex freezer container for sale. It is stainless steel from the inside. The walls are 6inches thick. Doesn't work, but water tight and good for storage. Wanted it gone asap. It in on flat property, easy driveway. Need a long boom to uplift as it is at the back of the property. … View moreWe have an ex freezer container for sale. It is stainless steel from the inside.
