A sewage spill from Wellington’s Moa Point plant, due to storms and equipment failure, has closed the facility and contaminated coastal waters, prompting health warnings and a long-term cleanup effort.
Wellington residents are warned to avoid coastal waters after a major sewage discharge from the Moa Point wastewater plant, caused by heavy rain and a mechanical failure during maintenance.
The facility, now closed and evacuated, is without power and ventilation, leading to untreated sewage flooding into Tarakena Bay and potentially continuing for months.
Public health alerts advise against swimming, playing, or attending events on the south coast, with a rāhui in place.
Water quality testing is underway, and officials are working to restore operations and divert wastewater to Cook Strait.
