Emva kosuku lwezikhukula eKent Terrace, abasebenzi baseWellington Water bagqibe ukulungisa umbhobho omdala ophukileyo izolo ebusuku. Ngentsimbi yeshumi ebusuku, ezi ndaba zivela eWellington Water:
“Ukuze le ndawo ikhuseleke ebusuku, iza kugqitywa ize ibiyelwe kwaye ulawulo lwezithuthi luza kuhlala lukhona kude kube kusasa – kodwa siza kusebenza ukuze sinciphise naluphi na ukuphazamiseka kwezithuthi.”
“Amaqela aza kubuyela emsebenzini ngoLwesine kusasa ukuze agqibezele umsebenzi wokugqibela kwaye silindele ukuba le ndawo ibe icocekile ngaphambi kwemini, kwaye kuza kulandela ukubuyiselwa ngokupheleleyo kwixesha elizayo.”
Siyavuya ukukwazisa ukuba umngcipheko wokuvalwa kweenkonzo unciphile ngokuhlwanje, kodwa sisakhuthaza abemi ukuba bagcine amanzi. Ukuba ukuvalwa kweenkonzo kubanzi, iitanki zamanzi ziya kuthunyelwa kwiindawo ezichaphazelekayo. Ngenxa yobunzima bokulungiswa, silindele ukuba umsebenzi uza kuqhubeka kude kube ngokuhlwanje, kwaye inkonzo iza kubuyiselwa ezinzulwini zobusuku.
Iindawo ezinokuchaphazeleka kukungabikho kwenkonzo okanye ukungabikho kwayo zezi:
– ICourtenay Place ukusuka eCambridge Tce ukuya eAllen St
– Pirie St ukusuka eAustin St ukuya eKent Tce
– IBrougham St ukusuka ePirie St ukuya eArmour Ave
– Iinxalenye zeHataitai kunye neRoseneath
Ngentsimbi yoku-1 emva kwemini, iWellington Water ithe ngenxa yobunzima bokulungiswa, inkonzo epheleleyo isenokungabuyiselwa kude kube ngokuhlwa okanye kusasa ngomso. Ithe abasebenzi bayo banciphise ukuhamba kwamanzi ngokwaneleyo ukuba bembe kufutshane nokuqhuma.
“Umbhobho ngoku utyhilekile (umfanekiso ongasentla) nangona kunjalo amanzi ahlala ephezulu kakhulu. Siza kusebenza ukuze siwuhlukanise ngokupheleleyo umbhobho ukuze ukulungiswa kugqitywe ngokukhuselekileyo.”
"Abathengi abakwezi ndawo zilandelayo banokubona ukulahleka kombane okanye uxinzelelo lwamanzi oluphantsi."
– Kent Terrace, Cambridge Terrace, Courtenay Place, Pirie Street. Ukuba wenza njalo, nceda wazise iqela lonxibelelwano nabathengi leBhunga leSixeko saseWellington. Abathengi baseMt Victoria, eRoseneath naseHataitai kwiindawo eziphakamileyo banokubona uxinzelelo lwamanzi oluphantsi okanye ukulahleka kwenkonzo.
Intloko yezokusebenza kunye nobunjineli beWellington Water uTim Harty uxelele iMidday Report yeRNZ ukuba babenengxaki yokwahlulahlula ikhefu ngenxa yeevalvu ezaphukileyo.
Iqela lokulungisa lalihamba ngenethiwekhi, livala iivalvu ukuzama ukuthintela amanzi ukuba angene kwindawo ephukileyo, kodwa ezinye iivalvu zazingasebenzi kakuhle, nto leyo eyenza indawo evaliweyo ibe nkulu kunokuba bekulindelwe. Uthe umbhobho uyinxalenye yeziseko zophuhliso ezindala zesixeko.

Umbhobho wamanzi oqhushumbisiweyo uphuphumise uninzi lweKent Terrace embindini weWellington. Abakhi bebekwindawo enezikhukula - phakathi kweVivian Street kunye neBuckle Street - ngaphambi kwentsimbi yesi-5 kusasa namhlanje.
IWellington Water ithe lulungiso olukhulu kwaye kulindeleke ukuba kuthathe iiyure ezisi-8 ukuya kwezili-10 ukulungisa.
Ithe indlela engaphakathi yeKent Terrace ivaliwe kwaye icele abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya abaya kwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya ukuba badlule e-Oriental Bay.
Ngentsimbi yesi-5 kusasa, amanzi ayegqume phantse iindlela ezintathu zendlela kufutshane nomnyango ongasentla oya kwiBasin Reserve. Amanzi ayefikelele kubunzulu obumalunga ne-30cm embindini wendlela.
Kwingxelo ngaphambi nje kwentsimbi yesi-7 kusasa, iWellington Water icele abantu ukuba bayiphephe le ndawo ngelixa ulawulo lwezithuthi lusenziwa. “Ukuba akunjalo, nceda ulindele ukulibaziseka. Siyaqonda ukuba le yindlela ephambili, ngoko ke senza konke okusemandleni ethu ukunciphisa impembelelo kubahambi ngezithuthi.”
“Okwangoku, asilindelanga ukuba ukuvalwa kwendlu kuchaphazele naziphi na izakhiwo kodwa siza kubonelela ngolwazi oluthe kratya njengoko ukulungiswa kuqhubeka.”
Kodwa kungekudala emva kwaloo ngxelo, iWellington Water yanika uhlaziyo oluchaza ibali elahlukileyo:
Amaqela asebenza ephanda iingxelo zokungabikho kwenkonzo okanye uxinzelelo lwamanzi oluphantsi kwiindawo eziphakamileyo zaseRoseneath. Oku kunokuchaphazela neendawo zaseMt Victoria.
Kwaye olunye uhlaziyo ngo-10am:
Ukuvalwa kwamanzi kule ndawo – okwakufuneka ukulungisa umbhobho – kwandisiwe ukuze kufikelele eCourtenay Place, eKent Terrace, eCambridge Terrace.
Ukuze kuthintelwe ukwenzeka kweentlekele ezifanayo, isixhobo sokujonga isantya samanzi esikrelekrele singasetyenziselwa ukujonga ngexesha langempela ukunciphisa ilahleko ezingeyomfuneko ezibangelwa ziintlekele zemvelo.
