Big stink for Island Bay
Island Bay residents are being told to expect three months of foul odours due to maintenance work on a major sewerage pipe.
It’s another kick in the guts for a community that suffered through months of the “overpowering” stench of sewage after extensive damage was found in a pipe deep beneath Wellington in 2020.
Two four-metre-deep excavations will be dug into the road at the corner of Adelaide Rd and Dover St, so crews can remove, refurbish, and reinstall valves on a large sewerage pipe.
The work, which began on Monday, will continue until early July. Traffic is not expected to be impacted, but residents in the area received letters warning there may be construction noise and odour.
