Flooding Event In Carterton - Update 9.30am
Due to lack of rainfall over night, most of the flooding
in the district has now eased. However, our wastewater
treatment plant is still under water and overwhelmed and
therefore we are still asking you to please MINIMISE TOILET
FLUSHING where possible to help reduce the flows into our
wastewater treatment plant. If you must flush the toilet,
you can. It will take a further reduction in water to return
our network to normal.
Please also minimise other water
use including washing machines and take shorter
showers.
The culvert on Chester Road has been cleared and Clareville Cemetery is no longer under water.
ROADS
All our roads have been reviewed and
are now reopened, except for Mangatarere Valley Road,
Kokotau Rd Closed at Ruamahanga River Bridge, and Matarawa
Road which are still closed.
Next update at
1pm.
