A large portion of Wellington’s CBD is without water after a water pipe burst.<\/p>\n
Wellington Water issued an alert just before 8am Thursday and said the outage was affecting at least 100 properties around Waring Taylor Street, Queens Wharf and Hunter Street.<\/p>\n
A Wellington Water spokesperson said it were setting up water tankers at the corner of Johnston and Featherston Streets, on the waterfront and on Waring Taylor Street.<\/p>\n
Residents and business owners are advised to bring their own containers.<\/p>\n
One northbound lane on Customhouse Quay has been cordoned off while crews work on fixing the pipe.<\/p>\n
Wellington Water is advising drivers to avoid the area.<\/p>\n
Wellington Water said it aimed to have the water restored later this afternoon.<\/p>\n
