Public concern over the total failure of the Moa Point wastewater treatment plant on Wellington’s south coast has been growing, despite this week’s announcement of an independent review.
When the plant failed on February 4, sewage backed up in the main outfall pipeline and flooded the lower floors of the facility. For two days, raw sewage was released from an outfall only five metres from shore at one of the capital city’s most popular kaimoana (seafood) gathering sites.
