DIXON ST UPDATE 12PM
Crews working overnight have managed to divert wastewater flows through an old pipeline.
This means we are able to significantly reduce overflow into the harbour. However, we can’t say for sure the overflow has stopped.
We continue to ask people to stay out of the water in the rāhui area (from Kaiwharawhara to Point Halswell). Harbour water quality testing will continue in the interim.
We are continuing to work through options to ensure we can completely stop the overflow as soon as possible.
We’re really sorry about the inconvenience this is causing to people and traffic.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
