We want to check everyone is ok and that you’re aware of the situation.
We’d like to remind you to keep away from the stream. It is dangerous as flood water undermines the banks and makes them unstable.

*********Update 5pm, 6 December*********
It has been a full-on day here in Kāpiti.
A huge amount of rain has fallen which caused streams and rivers to rise dramatically. We’ve had several pockets of localised flooding and a few landslides.
We’re preparing in case people need assistance overnight.
Our crews have been on the ground all day clearing drains and slips and checking in with our people.
As the rain continues to fall, please stay home if you can. Stay away from waterways; the heavy rain undermines riverbanks, and they can collapse without warning.
We’re on duty overnight. We’ll be keeping an eye on the district’s roads and infrastructure and we’re here to assist our community if needed.
You can pick up sandbags from outside the Council depot on Fytfield Place, Paraparaumu.
Phone 111 if a life is in danger. For other problems, phone Council on 0800 486 486.
*********Update 3.30pm, 6 December*********
Please be careful around waterways, the rivers are very full and fast-moving today, please keep a safe distance from the water's edge.
If you have any serious rain issues please call us or log a service request on our website 0800 486 486
or log it on Antenno www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...
