West Auckland flooding: Report finds council failed to keep creeks clear
Kia ora neighbours, flooding that impacted thousands of homes was made worse because Auckland Council failed to keep culverts and creek beds clear, a report has found.
More than 150 millimetres of water covered West Auckland during the August flood and the nearby Upper Huia Dam went from 45% capacity to overflowing in the span of only four hours.
The independent report was commissioned by Te Atatū MP Phil Twyford, who hired two experts on flood control to work on the report.
The experts found on the night of August 30 when the heavy rain struck, flooding at the Waimoko Stream, which flows through Swanson and Rānui, was exacerbated by blockages down the stream and in the culverts.
