A large pool of brown wastewater has spewed onto the street near Parliament and into Wellington’s harbour.
Wellington Water said the overflow was due to a burst pipe that carries wastewater under pressure.
“The overflow is continuing and is currently discharging into the harbour at Ara Moana”, Wellington Water reported on social media.
“We are arranging signage at the discharge points and at usual points along the harbour.”
Sampling will begin as soon as possible.
