Homes in Auckland suburb don't have permanent sewage system

Hundreds of brand new homes in the Cardinal West development near the Auckland suburb of Massey have not been hooked up to a permanent sewage system. Instead the waste from 341 households is being pumped to temporary tanks, before being trucked away. But the council's getting complaints about the smell. Watercare said the tank system is an interim measure, until permanent waste water infrastructure is established. That was supposed happen this year, but the new completion date is now late 2025, Henderson-Massey Local Board chairman Chris Carter speaks to Lisa Owen.
