The creek, on private property, is shared by about nine neighbours.
Resident Diane O’Connor said they held “high value” on the eels, some of which were estimated to be about 30-50 years old.
But on March 11, about 30 of the eels died from suspected ammonia poisoning after wastewater overflowed into the creek.
The neighbourhood took huge pride in its creek, and to lose so many eels in a manner in which they would have suffered was “heartbreaking”, she said.
“We’re incredibly upset about that because the eels are part of our neighbourhood. We absolutely love the eels.”
An investigation into the overflow by Watercare found a pipe had been blocked by solidified fat.
“This is why we encourage our customers not to pour cooking fats and oils down the kitchen sink. These solidify as they cool, and when combined with things like wet wipes, can cause blockages in our wastewater network," a spokesman said.
We're looking for a cleaner to take care of our club house in Northcote. Flexible hours, two days per week/4hours total. For more information please email - admin@northcotetennis.com.
