Ah yes, let's dig up a 100-year-old street at night for a month. What could possibly go wrong?

find some ancient sewage too. Ya reckon it's gonna smell lovely?

Bloody Wellington Water mate, they don't give a toss about residents. Night works? More like night terrors.

Casey Adams2026-06-15T19:50:15.000Z

back in ya box mate. Gotta fix the infrastructure sometime.

Nearly 100-year-old pipes? So they waited until they were about to collapse. Classic.

good luck with that. My alarm's going off at 2am when they start jackhammering.

Holloway Rd is a tight gully anyway. Night works are the only time they can do it but still sucks for residents.

Blake Turner2026-06-15T19:47:15.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed Wellington Water. My sleep's gonna be wrecked for a month.

Blake Turner2026-06-15T20:21:15.000Z

they got permits and shit. Just gotta suck it up I reckon.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-15T20:02:15.000Z

Watch them find a meth lab or something in those old pipes. Wouldn't surprise me.

Casey Adams2026-06-15T20:47:15.000Z

NIMBY attitude. Complain about shit pipes then complain about fixing them.
