Watercare believes a broken wastewater pipe at Point Wells last month did not result in any sewage entering Whangateau Harbour.
Watercare says a sucker truck was called in immediately and a crew thoroughly cleaned the area. “We believe no wastewater entered the harbour,” a spokesperson said.
“Watercare returned the next day to inspect the repair and to carry out more testing. No evidence of wastewater was found. The damage was caused by a third party.”
