Omāroro Reservoir Pipelines work update

The Team from Wellington Water

Here's an update of what's been happening with the pipelines work that will connect the Omāroro Reservoir to the network.

Work is progressing well in Hargreaves Street, as we pour the concrete floor and walls in the chamber, and finish off the pipe installation. We are on track to open up the bottom of Hargreaves Street by the end of the month in preparation for the Wallace Street road closure happening from December 8.

We’ve taken a few photos from around the current work site, as well as inside the chamber at Hargreaves Street so you can see what it looks like under the surface.

Learn more and keep up to date with the project on our website.

FAR-OUT WHANAU

Michael from Trentham

I had time for Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau at the onset. She was a little vivacious and it could have suited Wellington in its quest for revitalisation.
But I must admit that after a couple of years she has proven a disaster. Her dour male opponents for the mayoralty at the last elections would probably have fared better.
The job has gotten the better of her because she was so utterly ill-prepared. And I believe the ship will never be righted.

Wellington city should be fast tracking towards one city for the region but the Wellington Mayor is unable and unwilling to spearhead such a move.
Porirua, Lower Hutt, Kapiti and Upper Hutt all have very capable Mayors but the more populous Wellington with its huge financial difficulties and multiple issues needs the most sharpest minded, bipartisan, fast-out-of- the-blocks Mayor of all. And it just hasn't got it.
