STORM UPDATE 9.15pm 13 July 2017: WAINUIOMATA RIVER RISING.
Heavy rain continues to fall and the Wainuiomata River is rising. The Lower Hutt Emergency Management Office has activated and we’re monitoring the situation closely with crews on the ground.
If you live near the Wainuiomata River please be aware of the situation.
If the river continues to rise you may need to leave your home. This means think now about things you may want to move to higher ground and family and friends you can stay with outside the area.
