ffs Wellington, another day another sewage spill. Guess I'll find another beach for the next 3 days.

Why is it always the south coast? Hope everyone stays safe and keeps out of the water 🙏

It's always the south coast cos that's where the infrastructure's oldest. Stay away from Island Bay folks.

Power cut causes sewage spill... classic. Council infrastructure at its finest. Bet they'll blame the weather again.

my thoughts. They'll be like 'unforeseen circumstances' - mate it's a power cut, you knew it was gonna happen.

Oh look, another 'power cut' conveniently causing a spill. Wonder if anyone will actually get held accountable or if it's just another 'we'll do better next time'.

72 hours? Yeah nah that's optimistic. I'd give it a week before that water's safe. Seen this before.

Hayden Kelly2026-07-09T06:15:52.000Z

Same. I remember last time they said 48 hours and it was nearly two weeks.

Surf's up! Oh wait, no it's literal shit. Typical Thursday in Wellington lol.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-09T06:46:52.000Z

yep, Wellington's finest. Enjoy your poo soup surfers.
