More heavy rain is on its way to Wellington

Rain forecasts show more heavy falls are expected in the Wellington region in the next 24 hours.

Given that it’s autumn, and that yesterday’s torrential rain may have swept leaves into some streetside drains and sumps, Wellington City Council contractors will be out and about, keeping as many drains clear as possible – but it’d be great if residents in flood-prone areas can check if drains on or outside their properties are clear of autumn leaves or other debris.

If residents can run a broom over any blocked sump then we’d appreciate your help.

Current forecasts show heavy rain is most likely to fall over Wellington City and Porirua.
