# Flooding, 9 Carex Rise, Canterbury, Christchurch 8022, New Zealand

Christchurch · filed 7 May 2025 · report 6301907
https://www.chch.live/report/6301907

> Council reserve water catchment area is not catching all water as concrete gully is not deep enough and only some of the water follows the corner of the concrete drain, the remainder goes straight ahead following path of least resistance (causing flooding around the back and side of our property whenever there is heavy rain). It’s happened 4 times since we moved in 6 weeks ago. I have had no action on this since my last snap send so have re posted.
