Update: Southshore residents
In Southshore, work is progressing well on filling the low points along the estuary edge and continuing throughout the day in preparation for the high tide this afternoon. Pumps are located at all critical points and will be operated to keep levels down if needed.
Further roads are being closed this morning, particularly around the Heathcote. Emmett St from Orcades St to Bellbrook Cres in Shirley is also being closed. Please continue to drive slowly and carefully through any water on roads.
Please limit water use. Several wastewater pump stations have been flooded and are not keeping up with the inflow so wastewater is overflowing into streets. Limit flushing, showering etc. Note - this applies to all Christchurch and Banks Peninsula residents.
Our Civil Defence Centre is re-opening again at midday today.
People self-evacuating should call the Council’s Call Centre on 0800 800 169 or 03 941 8999 to register their details so we can keep them updated.
