A 1,200-cubic-meter sewage spill from a power surge closed oyster harvesting for 28 days, sparking farmer anger over pollution and economic loss.
A major sewage spill—1,200 cubic meters—into the Mahurangi River, caused by a power surge that disabled alarms and pumps, has forced a 28-day closure of oyster harvesting.
Watercare confirmed the overflow from its Lucy Moore Memorial Park station entered the river despite internal storage, prompting farmer outrage over repeated pollution, economic losses, and environmental damage.
The company apologized, said crews pumped the overflow back, and launched an investigation, but farmers demand financial support and accountability, citing long-term harm to their livelihoods and the ecosystem.
