Council operates stormwater systems in three community areas in the Mackenzie District which provide a degree of protection against rainfalls of a moderate intensity.

These stormwater systems are located at:

• Fairlie
• Lake Tekapo
• Twizel

Council supports this service by:

• Providing, operating and maintaining the stormwater infrastructure
• Responding to call outs and service disruptions quickly and efficiently
• Planning for future development and needs.

The stormwater activity excludes roads, kerb and channels, catchpits and the infrastructure necessary to connect these items to the stormwater drains, as these form part of the Roading activity.
