Work to renew the splitter box at the pump station was completed in December 2024.

Why are we doing this work?

A pump station is an important part of the wastewater network that collects, stores and pumps wastewater when it can't be carried naturally by gravity. 

The flow splitter box in the Tangare pump station is in poor structural condition. Renewing it will improve the performance of the pump station, helping increase the resilience of the Porirua wastewater network, and reducing the risk of wastewater spill to land or the marine environment in an earthquake or major storm event. It will also address historic issues with odour from the pump station.
