Welcome to Auckland City's stormwater web pages. Rapid growth, aging pipes and increasing environmental awareness mean we need to change the way we manage stormwater in the city. These pages show how we can all help to protect our streams and beaches and extend the life of our infrastructure while avoiding major public costs.

Click on the menu links above or the diagram below to find out…

  • how you can help combat flooding and water pollution
  • what Auckland City is doing for you and our environment as our city grows
  • how to build stormwater management measures that allow more intensive development of your property while protecting our natural environment

Use these pages if you are a householder, student or teacher, developer, engineer, architect or trades professional - plumber, builder, drain layer or concrete contractor.
