Wellington Water crews stopped a wastewater overflow in Grenada Village which flows to the Porirua Stream. Residents are asked to avoid the the Porirua Stream from Grenada Village including Tawa to the outlet at the mouth of the Porirua Harbour until further notice.

As untreated wastewater entered the stream, these areas are unsuitable for the public for wading in, fishing, or gathering food from. Signs have been put up and sampling will be undertaken tomorrow morning.

Commencing October 2023, we will be working on improving the safety of manhole covers in stormwater and wastewater networks in the Upper Hutt City area on behalf of Hutt City Council.

The work will be taking place in the road reserve  as well as in some private properties.

It  will involve some initial investigations followed by installing safety grills to manholes to provide protection against falling into manholes in case the manhole cover becomes dislodged in a storm event.

The work will take place inside the manholes so will not require reinstatement. 

However there will be some restricted parking and traffic management around the worksites.
