Running between the wastewater treatment plant at Moa Point and the Southern landfill are two pipes that carry a treatment process byproduct, generally known as sludge.
Only one pipe operates at a time, to allow for maintenance, but over the weekend, both pipes suffered damage that meant we couldn’t keep using them.
They’re under very high pressure when they’re operating, so it’s possible that the live pipe disrupted the other one when it failed.
The pipes were expected to last for a good 80 years or more, so we think that some kind of installation or material defect has caused them to stop working.
En route from the treatment plant to the landfill, the pipes pass through a tunnel beneath Mt Albert, and this is where the repair will be carried out.
While we carry out the repairs, trucks will be used to convey sludge from the plant to the landfill. About a million litres of sludge a day is generated at the plant, and trucks may need to operate around the clock from time to time.
A similar repair, also due to a defect in the concrete in which the pipes are embedded, was carried out in 2013 and took about five weeks to complete.
We’ll provide more information on the repair timeline and truck schedule as we learn more.

Moving overseas so can’t take my established plants with us. Very hardy plants that withstand the good old Wellington wind. Plants I have (as shown in order of pictures) are: Margarita & Lavendar. Ideal to brighten up any patio area. (Doesn’t include pots). $5 each
I have 20 multi-colour test pots (unused) & 12 Wood colour test pots - unused (6 Oregan, 6 Walnut) that I’ve bought for DIY projects but never used. Great for budding artists & home projects. Would love for them to be put to a good use. $10 the lot.
Cori Maroroa knows first hand just how good the #KiwiCan programme is for kids. After all, Maroroa loved it when she went through it a primary school as a student.
Now she is helping new generations of primary school students benefit from the same programme as one of its senior leaders.

We are a community committee tasked with making recommendations to Greater Wellington Regional Council and our city councils on the future of water quality and its use in Wellington, Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt (our Whaitua). Our waterways are precious and our water networks (freshwater, wastewater and stormwater) are vital for our community’s wellbeing. Recently, we have been learning about the state of water in our area and gathering community input on how water is valued and what should be done to look after it.
I live with my family beside the Makara Stream and we follow its path each day, winding from the beach up toward the headwaters above Makara Village or Ohariu. Our rural communities value their waterways and we want their input on how to best achieve reductions of sediment and pathogens in our rural areas. In town, there is a huge job ahead in upgrading the piped water networks and lessening our three cities’ impact on water quality - while also planning for population growth. Our region must meet national water quality requirements within a few years so we want to find solutions that reflect our communities’ views and are informed by good evidence and information.
Get in touch with us to give us your thoughts. You can reach us at whaitua@gw.govt.nz. To see what we have been doing visit our Facebook page. To share what you value about our water and your solutions, have your say here.
