All city residents are being told not to flush toilets, run baths or wash closes.

States of Emergency have also been declared in rural areas of Oliver-Paipoonge and Conmee where several roads have been washed out.

Highway 11-17 from the corner of Highway 102 though Kakabeka Falls to the city is also closed
