Plimmerton floods: Ccommunity has lost faith after stormwater failures
Eight weeks after flash flooding devastated Plimmerton, more than 20 homes remain uninhabitable – and the council has acknowledged the community has lost faith in it over the failing storm water infrastructure.
The torrent affected about 65 homes in total and the Plimmerton Flood Action Group formed in its wake, saying lives would be put at risk if authorities failed to fix the area's storm water system.
On Wednesday night, nearly two months to the day after the flooding, the Porirua City Council and Wellington Water held a joint meeting to update the community on what they would do to mitigate the risk of such extensive damage occurring in future floods.
