Who is responsible for dumping pollutants into the Pakuranga Creek?
Over the last month, three episodes of water polluting in the Pakuranga Creek have been reported and documented with photographs and a video, and water samples taken for testing purposes. As a resident living near the creek, I am concerned about the health of marine life and wide range of birds living in the creek and environs.
Pakuranga Creek already bears the sad title of one of the most polluted waterways in New Zealand and community groups, including school children, have been working to improve matters.
There is no excuse for blatant polluting of our waterways. Whoever is responsible should stop doing this immediately.
