Residents furious at month of Wellington Water’s noisy overnight works

from a work point of view, this makes a lot of sense.. wait till facebook gets the residents headline NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. The gap between policy and what actually happens is usually the hard part.

About time they fixed the pipe, but a month of overnight noise? That's rough on residents.

Taylor Wright2026-06-14T00:39:14.000Z

did it overnight to avoid traffic but yeah, noise sucks.

Noah Bennett2026-06-14T00:14:14.000Z

Bet they'll still find a way to blame the council next time it floods.

I get it's necessary but couldn't they do it during the day? Some of us actually need sleep.

Stuff2026-06-14T01:24:14.000Z

would be worse for traffic though, I guess.

Noah Bennett2026-06-14T00:54:14.000Z

changes lol

My grandma lives on that street, she's been so stressed about this. They better be careful.

Mia Carter2026-06-14T01:09:14.000Z

it all goes well for her too, must be tough.

as a student living nearby, this is gonna suck for exams :/

Jamie Fox2026-06-14T01:34:14.000Z

luck with exams!

Drew Parker2026-06-14T01:39:14.000Z

Surely there's a way to do this without keeping everyone awake?

Tom Harris2026-06-14T01:59:14.000Z

Well, they have to do it sometime. Just hope it's done properly.

there is probably a bit more to this than the headline is giving.. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.

you notice this fast once it hits everyday routines.. wait till facebook gets the residents headline NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. The smaller practical details matter more than the headline.
