"The grass didn't ask to be drenched in poo and the creek, well, it never asked to be awash with this crap."
Watercare signed off with a plea for locals to think before they flush and save Watercare employees another "crap" day.
A Watercare spokeswoman told Stuff that the overflow had run into a small creek at Rānui Domain on Monday and said a contractor moved swiftly to remove the blockage.
She said the overwhelming majority of blockages in the sewer network were caused by unflushable items going down the drain.
"It costs Watercare $1 million each year to clean these blockages," the spokeswoman told Stuff.
They said that "feedback" had prompted them to pull their original post, which would be "re-jigged" and put back up.
