"The immediate dangers posed by significant rainfall and abnormally high tides are now behind us. We haven't had any rainfall since Saturday and we know the river levels and storage basins are gradually and continuously dropping," says Mayor Dalziel.
"The low-pressure system that was affecting tidal levels has now passed, and while they remain high, they are now within normal tidal ranges.
"Although we are transitioning into a recovery period, we are still monitoring river levels, tides and weather forecasts very closely, to ensure we are ready to react if we need to.
"The forecast of further rain from this Thursday means the situation is still changeable, but we are working hard to minimise any impacts by clearing flood debris from rivers, sumps and storm-water grates, and keeping pumps deployed in Southshore and Flockton."

Heathcote River water levels are continuing to drop and the upper storage basins are slowly emptying. This is forecast to continue over the coming days. However tides still continue to impact and another high water level is predicted late this afternoon. This may cause isolated flooding in some areas and on roads previously affected.
The lower Heathcote will be the most affected by the rise in tidal water levels. This is expected to be lower than Saturday’s high tide water levels but higher than this morning’s.
We are continuing to closely monitor Heathcote River water levels and rainfall forecasts.
Southshore
Contractors are in Southshore monitoring tide levels, but at this stage they have not needed to operate pumps. Pumps will remain in place to remove any water from the street if required.
We are finalising work on the emergency bunds today, however tidy up work will be ongoing. Tidal waters are not expected to overtop the bunds with the current forecast peak water levels.
Road closures
In Christchurch Dyers Pass Road from Sign of the Takahe to Governors Bay is now open. The following roads in Banks Peninsula have also re-opened: Bossu Road, Usshers Road.
A number of road closures are still in place.
Please check Newsline for the latest road closures:
Water and wastewater
Christchurch and Banks Peninsula (with the exception of Duvauchelle) residents no longer need to limit water use that produces wastewater like flushing, washing and showering. This includes residents living south of the CBD and those in Southshore. However residents living in Duvauchelle on Banks Peninsula should continue to take measures to conserve water.
Please continue to treat all flood water as contaminated - so wash your hands thoroughly after you've been in contact with flood waters and mud/silt. Regular household bleaches can be used to clean surfaces.
Returning to properties
Civil Defence Rapid Response teams are continuing to carry out visual assessments of flood affected areas.
If your property has been affected by flood water, in the first instance please contact your private insurance company or your landlord to let them know.
Do not move back into a damp house, particularly if you have young children/babies.
If you evacuated your property, it's important that you check all your essential services are working properly. Ensure facilities are safe (Gas/Electricity/Oil). If any doubt, don’t switch on and contact a qualified tradesperson.
If you suspect a gas leak, call 111.
The Christchurch Civil Defence Team encourage people affected by flooding to contact the Council’s Customer Contact Centre on 0800 800 169 or (03) 941 8999 so we can register your details and keep you updated.

To help, New Zealand Red Cross provided $6.9 million to 179 Canterbury schools, designed to improve the well-being of children by funding a range of school programmes, events and initiatives.
Find out the difference this funding made to both the schools and students in the sixth of our 10 Good Stories videos. These videos show all the ways Red Cross helped one in five Cantabrians recover from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, thanks to the generous donations of people from New Zealand and beyond.
