Wastewater pumping stations
Below is a list of wastewater pumping stations that have potentially overflowed during the current weather event. Some pumps have struggled to cope due to the very high volumes of stormwater infiltrating the wastewater network.
Raw sewage may have spilled from these sites. Some overflows were minor, however, in the interests of public safety, we have created this list and urged people to treat all surface water as potentially contaminated.
| Network | Pump Station | Potential Overflow Location |
|---|---|---|
| Nelson North | The Glen sewer PS | Into stormwater channel, Haven. |
| CBD | Clouston bridge sewer PS | Stormwater network into Maitai River |
| CBD | Neale Park sewer PS | Direct discharge into the Haven |
| CBD | Paru Paru sewer PS | Stormwater network into Maitai River |
| Tahunanui | Parkers No1 sewer PS | Stormwater network to back beach channel |
| Tahunanui | Grace St sewer PS | Stormwater network into Waimea channel |
