Vector drain block blamed for daycare flood Flooding at the childcare centre beneath the Devonport Methodist Church in heavy rain last week is being attributed by the church to the blocking of a stormwater drain over which Vector contractors had placed a silt filter. A torrent of water caused by heavy rainfall
overnight on 20 May poured off Owens Rd and down a retaining wall to flood the lower level of the church building. The church believes this was caused by the drain being covered by a silt ‘sock’ and filter to prevent construction debris from Vector
works flowing into the stormwater system. Floodwaters carried silt and other debris into the centre, which had suffered no flooding during the severe rainfall in Auckland in early 2023. To page 2
