Wellington Water advises that the boil water notice for Pirinoa has been lifted.

The public network has been flushed and tested to confirm the water is safe to drink.  

Pirinoa residents are advised to run a cold tap to flush their pipes and any appliances (e.g., coffee machines) connected to the water system.

Hot water cylinders and header tanks may need to be drained and refilled. Wellington Water thanks residents for their patience and cooperation during this week.

The Pirinoa Water Treatment Plant meanwhile is still offline to enable cleaning and final reinstatement. Water supply over the weekend will be provided from the water reservoir at Pirinoa, which is being serviced by water tankers.

We expect to have the water treatment plant back to normal operation in the next few days.
