Poll: Have you noticed a change in the river level?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Waikato River is running high and several river paths in Hamilton have been closed as a result, the city council has advised.

There are also warnings of anticipated heavy rain in the region later this week and calls for people in flood-prone areas to be watchful and review emergency plans.

Have you noticed a change in the river level? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Walking path & not one facility I could find to give a dog a drink of water.

Shezz from Ngaruawahia

Council. I would like to suggest that a dog drinking post or two be erected, with a metal bowl below and a self stopping tap to top it up, to give fresh water to thirsty dogs who accompany their owners on this pathway. Perhaps a water fountain at the top for the owner as well. Thank you.
