Paremata School closed by flooding
A school is closed, slips have blocked roads and rockfall has struck a car after heavy rain in the Wellington region on Thursday morning.
Paremata School has been closed until further notice after sewage flooded into the playground, a staff member said.
The flooding had subsided and the rain had eased by about 10.30am, but the school remains closed to pupils as the toilets aren’t working.
Wellington Water, council and Downer crews were out this morning in Plimmerton, Titahi Bay, Elsdon, Cannons Creek and Whitby, a Porirua City Council spokesman said.
