Water services

It’s our role to look after water in the Hutt Valley – whether it’s supplying you with clean water, managing stormwater, taking care of wastewater (sewage) or monitoring sea pollution levels.

Capacity is the Council-controlled organisation which manages water services for Lower Hutt.
