A collapsed wastewater tunnel in the Wellington CBD means that the central city’s wastewater will begin discharging into the harbour this morning. The likely discharge points are near the dive platform, and Whairepo lagoon.

At this stage it is unknown how long this will last for, or the volumes of wastewater that will be discharged.

Wellington Water is asking all inner city residents and office workers to minimise their use of water, to reduce the load on the network and the size of the overflow.

The collapsed tunnel, beneath Willis and Dixon Streets in the CBD was being prepared for repair.

More updates will follow.

Due to increasing wastewater contamination in the stormwater network that flows into the inner Wellington harbour during high rainfall events, we have increased the frequency of water sampling to daily.

The most recent sampling at Whairepo Lagoon and the Taranaki Diving Platform shows high levels of Enterococci. These areas have been determined as unsuitable for swimming and other recreational activities due to these results.

We encourage the public to protect their health by not swimming in the area and be careful about any contact with the water. We will be placing no swimming signs in the area today.

We will provide an update when the water is suitable for swimming.

You can check recreational water quality results for your favourite swimming sites on the LAWA map.
