Watercare says its confident it will be able to stop wastewater overflow into Auckland's harbour by early next week.

It's been two weeks since a section of the Ōrākei main sewer line collapsed, leaving a 13 metre-deep sinkhole at the site of a carpark in Parnell - sending sewage into the harbour.

RNZ's Auckland reporter Lucy Xia was at the board meeting, and spoke to Charlotte Cook.
