Meet the Omāroro pipeline team
We’re building a new water reservoir for Wellington City. The 35 million litre Omāroro Reservoir will more than double the city’s water storage, and make our water supply more resilient to disaster and disruption
Work is about to start on the Omāroro pipeline, an important part of the project, constructing a new pipeline corridor along Wallace Street that will connect the Omāroro Reservoir to the existing water supply.
This work will also allow us to renew local water supply pipes, stormwater pipes and sewer pipes in the area.
You’re invited to a sausage sizzle!
Come along and meet representatives of Brian Perry Civil and their partners in the project, the contractors who will be working on the pipeline.
It’s just a friendly gathering, an opportunity to get to know the team who will be working in your community over the next year or so.
Some of Wellington Water’s key project team members will also be there.
We’re putting on some simple kai. All you need to do is turn up. We’d love to see you there.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
