Major Island Bay sewage spill caused by pieces of timber, Wellington Water says

A significant spill of untreated sewage occurred on Island Bay Parade last week, according to Wellington Water. The incident, which led to raw sewage flowing down the street, was described by local residents as "feral and disgusting."

Wellington Water has identified pieces of timber as the cause of the blockage that led to the overflow. Clean-up efforts have been underway following the event.

This incident highlights the ongoing challenges with wastewater infrastructure and its impact on public spaces and environmental health.
