Topic: Flooding
Enquiry
We've received multiple reports of high levels of flooding at Te Ngae Rd near the Sudima Hotel and Pak'n'Save.
We were wondering if you had received similar reports and if you could provide answers to the following questions:
- Could you please confirm if you've received reports of flooding at the above location?
- What is your advice to locals as heavy rains continue?
- Where should locals expect water levels to rise in the streets? Are there areas more prone to flooding?
What can / does the council do to prepare for and also repair streets after periods of heavy rain can cause pockets of flooding?
Response
Reporter was provided with a link to to Council’s website HERE for information to hand as at that time (3.30pm) and was informed this included messaging for people to take extra care on the roads and who to call if assistance was required.
Reporter was advised to monitor this link for any potential updates.
