Guernsey Water Races to Fix Leaking Sewage Valve
31 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Guernsey Water warns of "whiff" as they repair leaking sewage valve
- Sewage pumping station handles 350 liters per second normally
- Large yellow pump installed to divert flows during repairs
As of October 31st, 2025, Guernsey Water is addressing a critical issue at the White Rock pump station, located underneath the North Beach car park. The station, which typically handles 350 liters (77 gallons) of sewage every second, is currently experiencing a leaking valve that requires immediate attention.
To mitigate the situation, Guernsey Water has placed a large yellow pump in the car park to "divert the flows" and enable workers to safely conduct the necessary repairs. This action is crucial, as the station is responsible for sending all the sewage from St Peter Port and St Martin's to the Belle Grave Wastewater Centre.
While the repair work is underway, Guernsey Water has warned residents of a potential "whiff" in the area. The company is working diligently to resolve the issue and restore normal operations at the pumping station as soon as possible.
