Up to 1000 homes in Porirua have no access to running water after a main burst last night.
Mayor Anita Baker told NZME this morning the valve broke in Cannon’s Creek last night and that put pressure on other pipes leading to five more of them breaking.
“There’s up to 1000 homes without water, and they’ve been working on it since 6pm or 7pm last night.”
Baker said she understood it had been a big task for residents who had gone through last night’s dinner and this morning’s breakfast without water.
