Chelsea and Island Bay
I've received a number of queries lately about the work at Chelsea Sugar carpark and the number of trucks travelling down Island Bay Road and discharging into the sewage system there. The two are related, and here is an explanation from WaterCare:
"Watercare has been managing a complex issue with the wastewater line which runs through the carpark at Chelsea Sugar. Vacuum trucks were used to contain the wastewater while repairs were made. The wastewater was picked up and discharged into a different part of the network while the repairs were undertaken which is normal practice."
There will be a few more vacuum trucks in Island Bay on Monday. Work at the Chelsea Sugar carpark will pause for the weekend. The carpark is due to be reinstated on Tuesday.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Auckland Harbour Bridge summer works
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is carrying out essential maintenance on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this December and January. The southbound clip-on lanes will be closed (24/7) from 26 December to 5 January for road resurfacing. Night-time lane restrictions will be in place throughout the summer for recoating work on the bridge. Traffic will still be able to travel in both directions at all times.
