The burst has resulted in dislodged silt covering the footpath in the surrounding area.
Our crews are cleaning this up as quick as possible - but we do ask pedestrians to take an alternate route while we reinstate the impacted footpaths and clean the area.

The most known is the 1918 Influenza Pandemic that spread the world.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Year 412 BC an epidemic not unlike modern influenza.
Hippocrates described authentic records of an illness in AD 1173 spread to England, Germany and Italy. It existed for 50 years.
In 1239 another severe epidemic occurred.
In 1015 the first mention on Pandemic spread over Europe.
In 1757 Spread to USA.
Several Pandemics in the 16, 17 and 18th Centuries.

Curious fact:- that its recorded in histories of Influenza is its occurrence at sea on ships and in fleets that had no recent communications with land.

As a result water has been shutdown, which at this stage is only affecting two properties (see picture).
We have no expected time frame on how long this outage will last, however we will provide an update on this as soon as possible. In the meantime, crews will be providing water to impacted customers. Toilets can be used across the road in nearby buildings that aren't impacted.
This work has closed off the exit from Hunter Street onto Jervos Quay - please use an alternate route. We will advise of further traffic impact as the work continues.

Reservoirs were able to manage the demand, and storage is recovering in reservoirs now that treatment plants are operational.
For Featherston and Greytown residents, as the reservoir that supplies your area is taking longer to recover, we would appreciate it if you could reduce your water consumption where you can. We’ll share another update when you can use water normally again. Thank you for your patience.
Thanks again for your patience as we worked through this power outage. We can confirm everything is up and running as it should be, and all residents in the Wellington region and South Wairarapa can continue with their regular water use.

We can confirm everything is up and running as it should be, and all residents in the Wellington region and South Wairarapa can continue with their regular water use.
Crews will continue to investigate the network throughout the day.
Power has been restored to the region, and the majority of the pumping stations and all treatment plants are back online. We are investigating the wider network to ensure everything is operating as normal.

We are investigating the wider network to ensure everything is operating as normal.
We continue to ask the wider Wellington region to be mindful of their water consumption, and ask South Wairarapa residents to continue to reduce their water consumption and avoid flushing their toilets. Reducing demand allows the assets to operate without added pressure when they come back online.
All of the critical assets including pumping stations and treatment plants have generators in operation as part of our resilience plan. We also have mobile generators available for other pumping stations.

While this spike understandably caused concern in the community, we think some more context will help to address this. These figures are not uncommon across the Wellington region and across New Zealand after rain. Rain will wash pollutants into the stormwater system and will stir up pollutants that accumulate in the stormwater system over the very dry summer. This is why our advice is always to avoid swimming at our beaches following 48 hours of heavy rain.
We will be discussing these results and related matters at the Community Board meeting on Monday 16 March.
We are really grateful to the community for their interest in this work, and we’ll be providing more context for this and the test results in the future on our website: wellingtonwater.co.nz/owhiro-bay
