Reservoir Road Pumping Station: A Key Link in Wellington’s Water Supply
The pumping station on Reservoir Road is integral to the movement of treated water through the wider water network, helping ensure a consistent and reliable supply across the Wellington region.
Pump stations are essential infrastructure in areas where gravity alone isn’t enough to move water through pipes and reservoirs. The facility on Reservoir Road performs this role by pushing treated water through the pipeline system from Wainuiomata, allowing it to reach homes, businesses, and storage reservoirs throughout the region.
Though largely unnoticed by the public, the Reservoir Road pumping station remains a critical part of the region’s water delivery system, working behind the scenes to keep taps flowing in thousands of households every day.
