Otago flooding leaves roads closed and water supplies limited as emergency status lifts in Clutha district

Many roads in flooded Otago remain closed, including State Highway 88 and Coast Rd. In Dunedin, nine homes are marked unsafe, and inspections are ongoing. Boil-water notices are in place for several communities due to contamination risks from the floods. The state of emergency in the Clutha district has been lifted, but residents in Toko Mouth remain cut off due to an unstable slip.
