Dixon Street update 9.45pm
Steady progress has been made today on multiple fronts.
We’ve cleaned out the old decommissioned pipe beneath Willis Street. We want to use this to divert at least some of the flow back into the network. Before we can do that we need to CCTV it to make sure that it’s not damaged.
All going well, we will gradually increase the flow through the pipe enough to stop the overflows. Stopping the overflow of wastewater into the harbour is our first priority and once we have achieved this then there are some longer term solutions to be considered.
We have sucker trucks on 24 hour rotation pumping wastewater out of the pump stations at a rate of 40,000 litres an hour.
Greater Wellington Regional Council and the Port helped us monitor the harbour waters. Our teams will continue working overnight and tomorrow to capture anything left by the changing tides. More signs have been put up advising people that it is not safe to swim and our teams have been speaking to people along the waterfront enforcing that message.
Our next update to you will be tomorrow morning.
