Titahi residents could be facing big bills for pipe repairs
Tītahi Bay households could be the first in the region stung with bills potentially reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars as Wellington Water investigates the pipe network, Porirua’s mayor says.
Anita Baker said the suburb’s homeowners will be expected to foot the cost of repairs if broken pipes or cross connections were identified on their properties, in the first of a series of checks on infrastructure linking private homes into Wellington Water’s network.
The checks over the next few months are part of the region-wide Knowing Your Pipes project to improve water quality by reducing the amount of sewage entering waterways.
Tītahi Bay Residents’ Association representative Michelle Laurenson (pictured) said it was frightening that people could soon find out they were liable for faults in the network that were not of their making.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
