The heavy rain yesterday caused a small overflow at the Moa
Point wastewater treatment plant. The overflow, of
heavily-diluted wastewater, lasted less than five minutes
– however warning signs have been posted at Lyall Bay and
swimmers and surfers are advised to stay out of the water in
the area until Sunday.
People are also advised not
to swim in Wellington Harbour until Sunday due to the fact
that pollution levels in the harbour will be higher due to
contaminants washed down stormwater drains by the heavy
rain.
