The final stage of the repair to the Mt Albert tunnel and sludge lines involves repairing the floor of the tunnel. As part of this, on Thursday night a crew will be entering the tunnel to perform a visual inspection.

As the tunnel is an active wastewater pipe, we’ll hold wastewater flows at the pump station while the inspection is carried out. We’re scheduling the entry at night when wastewater flows are at a minimum, thereby maximising the amount of time our crews can spend in the tunnel. The plan is for the crew to spend 40 minutes in the tunnel, while based on normal operations we have capacity at the pump station to hold the wastewater flows for up to an hour. In the very unlikely event that the crew has to spend more than an hour in the tunnel, some screened wastewater may need to be discharged from the pump station into the Cook Strait. All possible steps will be taken to prevent this, however it is important to note that this inbound wastewater is made up of 99% water, and is therefore very different to the dewatered sludge that was transported during the earlier stage of repairs. Generators onsite may create some noise, however there will be no construction undertaken during this entry. We will monitor odour and use misters if necessary.

I've had this for a number of years now and it's been brilliant - but it does need new door springs, which you can get and fit pretty easily. And a new latch (the door still stays shut but not for a wash, you need a child-proof clasp or something to keep it shut when operating which I've been doing for some time). Apart from that it works perfectly and cleans really well. But we've just got a new one.

No traders please, a needy household only. I'm up 40 steps so you'll need two people, but it's not that heavy, maybe 50kg.

Cheers.

Missing since before the wild weather the other night. Very out of character for her so we are worried. Small black cat with white feet and tummy. She is pretty timid and has gone missing from Yule Street (51). We’re thinking she may have taken refuge in a garage or something the other night. Please sing out if you sight her. Thanks
