Lower Hutt mayor on Point Howard slip

From Morning Report, 8:36 am on 15 March 2023

More than 100 homes in Lower Hutt's Point Howard are still without water and many residents chose to evacuate last night after a landslip caused by a burst water pipe. 

A resident we spoke to earlier said they repeatedly reported the leak to Wellington Water and Hutt City Council, but it wasn't fixed. 

Campbell Barry is the Mayor of Lower Hutt and also the chair of the Wellington Water Committee. 

He spoke to Corin Dann.
