Clear leaves away from stormwater drains before heavy rain
Heavy rain and blocked stormwater drains = surface flooding š§š
So moving into autumn which typically brings heavy rain, alongside leaves falling and blocking drains, means our crews will be busy responding to flooding events - much like they were at the end of March.
You can help to reduce the amount of flooding by giving the drains in your street or on your property a sweep every now and then.
Easter weekend is looking a bit wet, so while youāre at home during this lockdown, why not get out and clear leaves and rubbish from on and around stormwater sumps?

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to āexuberanceā? š„

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps itās worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
