Potential Flooding
Northwood Residents Association advises residents to please notify CCC of any drain blockages in your area. However, its likely that resources will be stretched. Please help by removing leaves from drains in your street. Every little effort will help
A reminder that should the roundabout flood, please drive slowly and respect residents properties

Northwood Residents Association
From the council:
We are continuing to prepare for forecast heavy rainfall in the city overnight and tomorrow morning.
The predicted rainfall means there is a possibility of surface flooding on roads so our contractors will be closely monitoring the situation with crews deployed across the city.
We are also carrying out geotechnical monitoring in the Port Hills with engineers on standby.
Contractors have been out onsite today clearing grates and making sure the drainage network is operating as it should be.
Read more about our response to the predicted heavy rain.
We will be keeping a close eye on forecasts in case they change again, and will update the Council’s NEWSLINE and Facebook page as required.
Please share this information with your friends, families and networks.
Kind regards,
Keith Davison
Land Drainage Manager
Christchurch City Council
