The Moa Point wastewater treatment plant has restarted, following months of recovery work after catastrophic flooding in February.
Wellington's water agency Tiaki Wai says the restart of the plant is part of a gradual recommissioning process, with wastewater from central and southern Wellington progressively returning to treatment at the plant.
Tiaki Wai chief executive Mike Brewster says getting the plant operating at full capacity will take time as it re-establishes biological treatment processes.
The agency says that process may result in residents occasionally noticing odours coming from the plant.
It will monitor the water quality daily throughout the recommissioning period.
