# Street Gutters / Storm Water, 4 Emeline Chapman Drive, Cracroft, Christchurch 8022, New Zealand

Cracroft, Christchurch · filed 19 January 2026 · report 7580055

> Hi, there seems to be a flat spot outside our driveway. The water runs back towards our drive and then sits and pools. It sits there for days sometimes unless I sweep it (which I'm sick of doing) & is stagnant/stinks. Currently its cloudy colored coming out of storm water down by number 6 (even when gutter is clean) the water pooling outside number 4 (our) drive is particularly bad in heavy rain and we'd like something done please so that it starts to drain towards the drain as it should be.
