After the Christchurch earthquake on 23 December 2011 the sewer pipe got badly damaged at New Brighton and was leaking into the Avon River.

The Carpenters - Breakin' up Is hard to do
They say that breakin' up
Is hard to do
Now I know, I know
That it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breakin' up
I wish that we were makin' up again
I beg of you
Don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love
Another try
Come on baby
Lets start a new
Breakin' up is hard to do
