The new Civic Square in front of The Dowse is really taking shape and should be complete within the next few weeks. The square will be a focal point for community events and concerts. A new artesian well being sunk alongside the square struck water last week.
Pure, untreated artesian water is currently available at the popular Petone Te PUna Wai Ora ( Spring of Life) in Buick Street.
The artesian water originates from waters of the Hutt River which enter the artesian aquifier of sand, gravels and boulders confined with layers of silt and clay at Taita Gorge.
The water is naturally filtered over several years before reaching Petone foreshore where it emerges under the sea floor of the Wellington Harbour. This underground pressurised water is a truly natural treasure. It will be a fantastic addition to the square and will attract many visitors.
