A water main has burst in Porirua, causing outages in the city centre, R\u0101nui, and Elsdon.<\/p>\n
A 300mm main burst on Mepham Place around 2:20pm, causing the asphalt to crack.<\/p>\n
“At this stage, there is no estimated timeframe for full restoration, but it is anticipated that service will be interrupted for at least eight hours,” mayor Anita Baker said.<\/p>\n
P\u0101taka Art + Museum, Caf\u00e9 Kaizen, Porirua Library, and Te Rauparaha Arena and Aquatic Centre have all closed as a result of the burst water main.<\/p>\n
Tiaki Wai expected water to return from around 10:30pm on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
It has established an incident management team to begin the excavation process around the burst water main.<\/p>\n
A water tank has been ordered for affected residents and will be located on the corner of Mepham Place and Champion Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A water main has burst in Porirua, causing outages in the city centre, R\u0101nui, and Elsdon.
