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.
We’ve had great work from the team on the ground today.
Through the day we had successful tests of pumping stations, and will be running them overnight to keep wastewater levels under the normal alarm levels, reducing the potential for overflows into the harbour.

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.
...and get back to summer.
This summer you can report anything or find advice online and it’s quick and easy to do.
Simply go to 105.police.govt.nz and get back to the barbeque.

Following emergency works at Dixon Street yesterday, crews have worked through the night on options to divert wastewater around the blocked areas. More work is required, and to help with this there are currently two major local road closures in the CBD.

Please expect significant delays through the CBD, particularly on Vivian St. SH1 traffic should use Cambridge Tce, Wakefield St, Jervois Quay, Waterloo Quay and Aotea Quay as alternative routes during this time.
We are working with local businesses and residents who have been incredibly accommodating, and thank them for their patience and support as we work to repair the pipe.
Wastewater is still overflowing into the harbour, and the rāhui is still in place (see map). Please continue to stay out of the water, and do not go fishing or collect seafood.
We also thank residents and businesses in the affected area for doing everything they can to reduce their water use.

The discharge is the result of a collapse in a tunnel that is part of the wastewater network in the CBD area. The wastewater is entering the harbour near the dive platform, and Whairepo lagoon near Te Papa.
Wellington Water has mobilised all our temporary systems to contain the wastewater but they will not be enough. Regrettably wastewater will enter the harbour at Frank Kitts Park/Taranaki Dive Platform by our emergency overflow point.
At this stage it is unknown how long this will last for, or the volumes of wastewater that will be discharged. We are working to try to divert the flows through other parts of the network.
We have staff currently out working with residents and businesses to advise how they can help by conserving water to reduce wastewater flows.
We are working with stakeholders and will be providing regular updates to ensure that they are able to keep the public informed.
Ghuznee St is now also closed between Willis and Victoria Streets so our contractors can pump. Please avoid the area and use an alternate route.
At 2pm Taranaki Whānui will be placing a rāhui at the discharge. We would like to invite all members of the public to attend this process at Whairepo … View moreGhuznee St is now also closed between Willis and Victoria Streets so our contractors can pump.
