This is likely to take many months to complete. Water remains safe to drink.
A sample from a bore in the Waterloo wellfield returned a positive E.coli result on 12 April 2017. This was the third positive E.coli result in five months from water sourced from the Waiwhetu Aquifer. This, plus recent water quality testing across the aquifer showing an increasing amount of bacteria activity, has led to the decision to keep chlorinating the Lower Hutt water supply network while investigations are ongoing.
The public fountains at Buick Street (Petone) and Dowse Square (central Lower Hutt) have been closed as a precautionary measure because they can’t be chlorinated.
We’re taking a cautious and vigilant approach because public safety will always be our most important consideration.
We don’t know what has caused this to happen, that’s what the investigation is for, but one possibility at this very early stage is it could be related to the November 2016 earthquake.
We’ve posted more information about this decision on our website below.

Here’s some interesting feedback we’ve received from you so far:
· You want paths along the stop banks to be wide enough for multiple users
· A pedestrian / cycling bridge opposite Margaret Street [would be] good, linking to the railway station
· It's worth moving the bridge [to Queens Drive] and making a better link to the CBD

Residents and car users should see the new bollards later this week, and the existing bollard further down the Parade will be upgraded to be visible at night.
Hutt City Council traffic engineer Zackary Moodie says, “Local residents have asked to prohibit through traffic between these two streets due to a narrow 3m wide section making it difficult for shared use between pedestrians and traffic.
“The bollards should be installed this week if weather permits. Cyclists and walkers will still be able to access Marine Parade south, residents in the area will still have access to their properties, but there will be no through traffic making it a safer place for pedestrians and cyclists.”
