This crew gave up their weekend, working throughout the day on both Saturday and Sunday to repair these bursts as quickly as possible. Given the location, this repair was made a little more difficult than usual, so we’d like to thank the residents of Wilton for their patience and understanding throughout the weekend.

Another thanks to the guys out in the field who got these bursts sorted, and also to Wellington City Council for keeping residents updated on social media.
