We have also received a number of reports of surface flooding and slips. These reports are currently being investigated.
If you see flooding or storm damage please phone us on 0800 492 452. If life is in danger, always call 111.
Civil Defence have established an operations centre at Ngaruawahia and are working with local authorities, emergency services and local media to assess risks, provide advice and respond to the flooding.
You should:
• Stay inside. Avoid driving unless absolutely necessary.
• Bring your pets inside. Move stock to shelter. If you have to evacuate, take your pets with you.
• Put your household emergency plan into action and check your getaway kit in case you have to leave in a hurry.
• Secure, or move indoors, all items that could get blown about and cause harm in strong winds.
• Close windows, external and internal doors. Pull curtains and drapes over unprotected glass areas to prevent injury from shattered or flying glass.
• If the wind becomes destructive, stay away from doors and windows and shelter further inside the house.
• Power cuts are possible in severe weather. Unplug small appliances that could be affected by electrical power surges. If power is lost unplug major appliances to reduce the power surge and possible damage when power is restored.
• Have enough water available for at least three days.
Stay out of flood water as there is a risk of wastewater contamination and unknown hazards.
Call 0800492452 to report damage. If people or property are in danger always call 111.

Inorganic rubbish such as furniture, lawnmowers, televisions will be collected from the kerb outside properties.
Only properties that have refuse and recycling picked up weekly are entitled to the kerbside inorganic collection.
Residents also need to make sure that their pile of inorganic rubbish is less than two metres long and no more than one metre wide.
Anything over this amount will be left behind – it is then the resident’s responsibility to remove the remainder.
It is also important to remember that rubbish should not be put out on the kerb until the day before the week of inorganic collection.
For Te Kowhai, as our weekly refuse and recycling collection is on a Monday, our inorganic collection is Monday 1 May.

See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.
