Damage fixed, more assessment in the pipeline
A section of damaged pipes which caused flooding of businesses in Leith St, Dunedin, on Monday has been replaced.
Dunedin City Council 3 Waters group manager Tom Dyer said council contractors and staff assisted with the cleanup of affected businesses on Monday night.
‘‘Staff are assessing the condition of all pipes in the area.’’
The council was also looking at shortterm drainage options to minimise the likelihood of property damage ahead of potential works, Mr Dyer said.
While it was another section of the pipe affected in a separate flooding event on
Boxing Day, the remaining pipe was also being assessed.
Traffic management remained in place in Leith St while the road was being repaired.
