As a consequence of the heavy rainfall on Saturday night and Sunday morning along with the high tide, there was extreme flooding that unfortunately affected a number of residents in Porirua. There is more rain in the forecast tonight for residents in Porirua, the Hutt Valley and Wellington. 🌧🌧🌧
Meanwhile, our operations teams are checking known risk areas and are working to ensure that the stormwater networks can perform as well as possible. If surface flooding occurs, please contact your local council.
