Wellington businesses disrupted by sewerage tunnel collapse

From Morning Report, 6:40 am on 23 December 2019

Raw sewage is still flowing into Wellington Harbour - and people are being told to stay well away from the water.

Wellington Chamber of Commerce chief executive John Milford told our reporter Jordan Bond it's been unfortunate, but Wellington Water swung into action quickly.
