Further rain is forecast for the region this week.
The Metservice is forecasting showers today, with rain tomorrow through until Friday.
Forecasters say on Thursday and Friday, there is a moderate confidence of significant heavy rain over Hawke’s Bay.
-------------------
The Tararua District Council has temporarily removed water restrictions for the Dannevirke township.
The Council is encouraging residents to fill up their pools and water tanks, complete jobs like water blasting while there are no restrictions, as it is almost certain that some level of restrictions will be required later in the year.
Dannevirke’s Impounded Supply is currently operating at a maximum height of 9.5 metres on the advice of engineers.
The supply is still leaking, with a long-term solution being worked on.

Local COVID-19 case numbers are continuing to trend downward.

Free RATS tests and facemasks will also be available at the clinics.
