About the project

Wellington Water is managing the construction of the Omāroro reservoir, a large buried reservoir above the playing fields at Prince of Wales Park.

The reservoir will provide a significant increase in water storage for Wellington city and in the event supply pipes are disrupted, the reservoir will ensure 48 hours supply of water to the city.

As part of the project, the Council established a Community Reference Group with Wellington Water – a forum to ensure residents and park users have a say in the management of the project.
