When there's heavy rainfall, like after cyclone Gita yesterday, lots of water can end up in the wastewater network (instead of travelling through the stormwater network). This means our wastewater pump stations and treatment plants are not able to cope with the extra volume of wastewater.
… View moreWhen there's heavy rainfall, like after cyclone Gita yesterday, lots of water can end up in the wastewater network (instead of travelling through the stormwater network). This means our wastewater pump stations and treatment plants are not able to cope with the extra volume of wastewater.
On 20 February 2018, some water bypassed the Porirua treatment plant, only receiving partial treatment with UV light, before being discharged from a pipe at Rukutane Point in Titahi Bay. There were also overflows into the Porirua harbour and near Plimmerton.
We always recommend you do not swim in harbours and rivers following heavy rainfalls, for at least 48 hours.
Please note the following:
- Regional Public Health recommends no swimming in the affected area.
- Health Warning signs will be posted around Titahi Bay.

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?

- Check your guttering is clear.
- Check and clear the area around any drains you have on your property.
- If you’re aware of any areas where water collects or flows through your property, sandbags can help keep it away. Sandbags can be found at DIY stores such as Mitre10 and Bunnings.
- Have a look at the gutter and street drains outside your property. Are they clear of leaf litter and other debris? If you notice any significant blockages contact your local council.
- Put any rubbish in your wheelie-bin and tie down anything that might get caught in the wind, such as BBQ covers and trampolines.
- Check on your neighbours, and help them out if you can.
Flood events happen quickly, and can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time.
Stay out of flood waters, as there is a risk manhole lids have come loose, there could be debris floating in the water, and it can be contaminated with sewerage.
