Description
70 million litres of sewage are flowing into the ocean every day after a catastrophic failure at Wellington's Moa Point water treatment plant. A rāhui remains in place from Ōwhiro Bay to Breaker Bay, with people urged to stay off Wellington’s south coast beaches, avoid contact with seawater or spray, not to collect or eat kaimoana and to keep dogs away from the shoreline.
