Roading/Streets
Reported Tuesday, 12 February 2019 at 4:38 pm, 441, Madras Street, Saint Albans, 8014, Canterbury.
The reporter’s words
I would have added Flooding to the incident heading if I could. I reported this water last year and a bubble up sump was put in. This has not solved the problem at all. It’s made no difference. These photos were taken yesterday (11th Feb) on a day of 30 degrees. We have had many days of 28/30 degrees, but it makes no difference to the water. It flows continuously and never ever dries. I have detailed knowledge of 441 Madras Street. I lived there, in my 1900 villa, for 25 years. I had an artesian well on my property and had I capped by a plumber. The house was demolished after the February earthquake and we sold the section. I still live close by. Next door, back section. The builders cleared the section with a scraper, and straight away we noticed water leaking out of 441 section. I believe they have tapped into the artesian well. I would like this investigated again. Water should not be flowing into our gutters, especially in the height of summer.
