The 50 groups of community volunteers and various school groups successfully cleared 438 bags of rubbish weighing 2,370kg and 180 large items from the city’s waterways, beaches and harbourside.
Their amazing efforts were supported by an eight-strong team from Citycare Water’s Waterways Team, and Citycare Water also donated 500 rubbish bags for the waterways and coastal clean-up.
The Ōtākaro/Avon and Ōpāwaho/Heathcote rivers, the Estuary, Lyttelton Harbour basin and New Brighton Beach were among the 50 sites cleared.
Kudos to the event organisers, the Estuary Trust, Ōpāwaho/Heathcote River Network, Conservation Volunteers NZ, Whaka Ora-Healthy Harbours, Sustainable Coastlines NZ and Avon-Ōtākaro Network and the 600-plus volunteers.
Among the Citycare Water helpers on the day were from left Justin Sintes, Jen Rush-Ford, Adam Rozanski, Maxime Sevin, Murray Lyes, Dan Rush and James Gilmour.
Citycare Water teams often tackle high-risk connections with extra safety precautions, such as the recent installation of two rising wastewater mains for Watercare in Drury South.
A new 80-hectare village in Karaka, South Auckland, with 850 homes to be built over the next eight years, will benefit from the latest smart meter technology in its water infrastructure.
