A vandalism attack on a remote automated monitoring station left communities and livelihoods vulnerable to unexpected flooding, the Taranaki Regional Council says. Council hydrology officers discovered the damage while checking the network of monitoring stations in the upper Waitōtara Valley catchment. Temporary repairs were made to get the station back online but full repairs will not be finished for another two weeks. The stations generate automated phone alerts to locals when rivers reach
