Stormwater flows into an erosion-damaged Mount Pleasant bush gully through a new “energy dissipator” built by the Christchurch Drainage Board. Behind the far concrete structure is a drainpipe that has been the focus of controversy for several years because of the amount of water it allows to enter the gully through private properties. The dissipator slows the water as it enters the gully. Residents say that leaves the problem of speed building up as it continues its steep run downhill.
