Iwi and residents are becoming increasingly frustrated with Auckland's failing infrastructure, as contamination from a burst sewer pipe closes inner-city beaches for more than 10 days.
Hundreds of litres of sewage per second has been spilling into the ocean after a main sewer line collapsed this week, causing massive sinkhole in the upmarket suburb of Parnell.
Watercare is trying to work out where exactly the sewage is ending up and all beaches in the Waitematā Harbour are deemed unsafe for swimming and fishing in the meantime.
As Jordan Dunn reports, Ngarimu Blair, from Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Trust, is not impressed.
