Wellington Water has been showing a blatant disregard for public health and safety in Titahi Bay.
It is disingenuous for Wellington Water to apologise to the public whilst blaming their operators for a mess they are responsible for.
Wellington Water were notified by their operators of the recent plant malfunction that caused untreated sewage to spill into Titahi Bay beach for 11 hours. And they were aware of this contamination but due to staff being on annual leave, their strategic communication protocol was not followed through.
Operators and management must immediately notify, as this is a legal requirement and condition of consent WGN33805 (allowing discharge of wastewater into coastal waters).

Our biggest worry : Porirua locals fed up with sewage flowing onto beach Newshub 3/01/2021
A coastal suburb in Porirua is fed up with sewage flowing onto the beach.
Titahi Bay residents and the local surf lifesaving club are calling on the Porirua City Council to fix the problem and upgrade its infrastructure.
Whenever there s heavy rain, toilet paper and faeces flow onto the street and stormwater gushes out onto the beach. Our biggest worry is sewage. We ve got sewage coming from everywhere at the moment on our beach, Titahi Bay surf lifesaving chairperson John Wesley Smith says. It s really affecting our community and our club, primarily because we can t put people in the water.
