Help us prevent flooding, and protect your home and community
While the weather's nice, and before the next lot of rain arrives, it's a great time to check your gutters, spouting and drainpipes for leaves, twigs and debris. Blockages can cause flooding and damage.🍂
We’re out and about every day doing our bit to manage our stormwater network and prevent flooding where possible, but we can’t be everywhere. If you see something we need to know about, send us an Antenno request.
For more tips on how you can help prevent flooding and protect your property and community, see www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... 🌧️ ☂️
