Call for new flooding control measures BY GRACE CABELL Flood-wary St Albans residents want new culverts. Edgeware Rd residents have asked the city council for the replacement of culverts at St Albans Creek on Hills Rd, Edgeware Rd and Champion St, in a bid to lessen flooding. Overflow in the area has damaged the culverts, causing a ‘damming effect’ and channelling of water, compromising the effectiveness of the culverts. The city council is considering repairing the damaged culverts, but some Edgeware Rd residents said more needed to be done.
One Edgeware Rd resident, Andrew Pengelly, said the damaged culverts not only need to be repaired, but also improved, to enable increased flow of water at flood times. The Land Drainage team will present the Dudley Creek Post Earthquake Remediation Report to the city council on Thursday, which would include discussing options for the culverts. Land drainage operations manager Sylvia Maclaren spoke to the Shirley-Papanui Community Board regarding the culvert on St Albans Creek.
