A major sewage rupture at a central Auckland secondary school has prompted its early closure today, which will continue onto tomorrow.
An email sent to parents and caregivers by Western Springs College today says the hazardous drainage has seeped into carpets.
Western Springs College Principal Ivan Davis told the Herald they have not yet determined what caused the massive leak.
“Plumbers and the building’s operational designers are coming to check the plumbing.
“The school is a three-level building. The sewage is coming from the top floor’s toilets bubbling through the floor drains of each floor’s toilet then seeping into the stairwells and entrance carpet.
