Wellington Water Advises:

We are installing a new connection on the water supply network in the areas outlined below. This means we will have to turn off the water supply to these properties for a short time to test which addresses may be affected.

This will affect the following properties

• Humphries Street 4,6 & 10
• West Street 183 to 254
• Trinity Lane 2 to 5
• South Street 1 to 6
• Balfour Street 1 to 5A
• Greytown Cemetery State Highway 2, up to 1 Tauherenikau Road (Western side)

This is scheduled to take place from: 9am-12.30pm on Friday 9 July 2021

The water will be back on as soon as possible, but we recommend you fill up some containers with water before the time above and avoid running your dishwasher, washing machine or any appliances that use water. It is best not to use water from your hot water cylinder either as the cylinder may get damaged if the water level gets too low.

When the water supply is turned back on, it’s a good idea to open a cold tap slowly and let it run for a minute or so to clear any air bubbles that may have entered the system. Air can cause the water to turn a milky colour, but this won’t affect the taste and should clear quickly.

If you have any questions about this shutdown or the work, please contact any of the following:
