DIXON ST

The Team from Wellington Water

As part of the urgent works on Dixon St we’ve had a drill rig onsite, drilling to install posts which will help shape the chamber required to make repairs to the wastewater pipe and tunnel.

This afternoon while drilling and pumping concrete to create one of the posts, part of the tunnel wall collapsed into the existing void, creating a larger hole.

There was a small overflow of wastewater onto the street, which has been cleaned up, and crews are working to ensure wastewater is diverted from the area to reduce the risk of further overflows into the stormwater network and the harbour.

Sucker trucks are also being deployed to transport wastewater away from this part of the network. This will extend the amount of time we’ll have to install a temporary bypass, expected to be in place by early morning.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
