No end in sight for Titahi Bay sewage pipe saga
Titahi Bay residents are bracing for another summer of polluted water that keeps them out of the surf, expecting more sewage overflows as the Porirua area’s infrastructure struggles to cope with the increasingly frequent heavy rains.
After a deluge, a slick of brown sludge – or worse – often appears on top of the water at Titahi Bay, the Wellington region’s most popular surf break.
Mayor Anita Baker said she was just as annoyed as residents about the problem. Baker, who has been mayor since 2019 and a city councillor since 2010, said Porirua’s infrastructure had suffered from under-investment for at least a decade.
“I’m totally committed to getting things fixed in the community, but it just comes down to how fast we can do it and how much money we have to spend,” she said.
