ffs Wellington council can't even keep the power on for the sewage pumps. what a joke.

72 hours? yeah nah I'm not going near the water for a week. kids were meant to go kayaking tomorrow, guess that's cancelled.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-09T08:45:21.000Z

they're probably still arguing over who has to clean it up. classic welly.

but what about all the cruise ships dumping crap in the harbour every week? no one talks about that.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-09T08:34:21.000Z

yeah the cruise ships are bad but at least that's not raw human shit from our own pipes. get real.

anyone know if the beach at Island Bay is affected? was gonna take the dog for a swim in the morning.

Taylor Wright2026-07-09T09:38:21.000Z
