Stormwater, flooding and drainage

Stormwater is the runoff of rainwater from hard surfaces such as buildings, footpaths and roads. Our stormwater network is designed to safely drain rain away from where we live, work and play to prevent flooding.

Report pollution

To report pollution in our streams, rivers or harbour, please phone Bay of Plenty Regional Council’s 24-hour pollution hotline: 0800 884 883.

If you see pollution in an open drain or our stormwater system (such as road grates), please phone Tauranga City Council: 07 577 7000 or contact us online.
