Heavy rain warning

Metservice has upgraded our district to an orange heavy rain warning. It is valid until 6pm Wednesday 19 November. We're in for a wet day tomorrow.
Please take care if you are travelling tonight and tomorrow. There is a lot of surface water already on the roads. Surface flooding, slips, and difficult driving conditions are possible.

Stay away from rivers, streams and waterways as they could rise rapidly.
