CANNONS CREEK, CENTRAL PORIRUA - WASTEWATER INCIDENT
Kia ora Porirua,
Our crews have responded to a rupture in a wastewater pipe in the gully below Tasman Close. This rupture has caused untreated wastewater to enter the Kenepuru Stream in Bothamley Park, which flows into Porirua Stream at Mepham Place.
We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
Bothamley Park is closed to the public due to the ongoing wastewater renewal project, and warning signs are being posted along potential affected areas. We advise people to avoid entering the Kenepuru Stream and Porirua Stream until water testing comes back clear and a full repair has been completed. We will be regularly sampling the Kenepuru Stream at Mepham Place and at the outlet of the Porirua Stream.
The location of the rupture makes access difficult, and health and safety concerns make a repair complex. To move forward with the repair as quickly as possible, we have engaged with a geotechnical engineer to complete an assessment tomorrow morning.
We will keep this post updated with the latest information, and expect to provide a further update tomorrow morning.
