# Flooding, 46–82 Wainui Valley Rd, Canterbury, French Farm 7582, New Zealand

French Farm, Christchurch · filed 5 April 2026 · report 8032639

> After the recent flood the council/Fulton Hogan cleared the open drain on the south side of the road up to the pipe that runs under the road and dug at the outlet of the pipe in the paddock. In any weather event this drain floods, the outlet in the paddock needs to be dug out so flood water can drain into the stream and not back up and flood across the road and into our property as it did in March.
