Instead crews quickly established a bypass line, effectively stopping the spill.

John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 16 May 1924:<br> DRAINAGE PROBLEM<br> GRAVITATION OR PUMPING<br> SCHEMES SUGGESTED FOR<br> EASTBOURNE<br> Interest in Eastbourne’s <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/drainage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>drainage</span></a> problems was shown last evening by the large attendance of ratepayers and others… to hear Professor Montgomerie Neilson and Mr. Edmonds, drainage engineers from Australia, and Mr. Freeman, a surveyor from Christchurch, enunciate a drainage system.… Professor Neilson dealt at some length with the aspect of public health and its relation to drainage, especially in communities where populations are at all congested. He realised that in <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Eastbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eastbourne</span></a> there was a rooted prejudice against the installation of drainage tanks along the beach front, but though he appreciated this objection in a seaside resort, which would eventually become the Riviera of the Wellington province, he could assure ratepayers that after the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/sewage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sewage</span></a> had passed over the sills and baffles in the non-septic tanks he proposed to install, it was quite harmless…<br>…<br> When asked… which scheme—gravitation or pumping—was best for Eastbourne, Mr. Edmonds replied that pumping was by far the most satisfactory, but would cost more money…<br> Votes of thanks… terminated an eventful meeting at a late hour.<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19240516.2.93" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19240516.2.93</span></a><br><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PublicWorks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicWorks</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/LowerHutt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LowerHutt</span></a></p>
