Local council near Wellington struggles with foul odour from sewage plant that has left locals gagging and unable to open windows
A New Zealand mayor has been forced to clarify that residents do not need to “stop pooing”, as a local council near Wellington struggles with worsening odour from a sewage plant that has left locals gagging and unable to open windows.
On Tuesday, Wellington Water, which manages the Seaview wastewater treatment plant, said it was continuing to address the odour management issue that has plagued Lower Hutt – a city in the Wellington region – in recent months.
