We found this photo in a retro booklet all about the Waterloo Pumping Station (now known as the Waterloo Water Treatment Plant) from 1981, and had to compare it to what it looks like now!


The station opened on 15 May 1981, and was designed to use the artesian underground water resource of the Lower Hutt Valley to its maximum extent 💧

Eight wells supply water from the Waiwhetu aquifer to the Water Treatment Plant located right next to the Waterloo Train Station 🚉

Mower maintenance

Lawn Pro Solutions

Pro tip#4 As the weather cools, we begin to mow a lot less. So it’s a good time to remember to wash under our mowers after each use. Decomposing grass & weeds underneath your mower can spread over the lawn, then lead to future problems like fungal diseases. #keepitgreen.
