Update: Southshore residents

Media Team from Christchurch City Council

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.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
