Though workers were called to deal with the problem, it was not mentioned on the website of Wellington Water. However the Wellington City Council did know what was happening and at 4.15 it explained:
A contractor has hit a small pipe (20mm) while servicing a building. Residents still have water and it should be repaired within the next hour or so.
The DomPost reports that Apollo Lodge Motel manager Vikram Kaushal said four of his windows were cracked when stones were thrown into the air along with a stream of water after roading contractors damaged a 20-millimetre service pipe.
