    The Clutha District Council has warned there could be widespread flooding in the region in coming days


    A low pressure system from the west is bringing with it heavy rain for areas throughout Otago and the lower South Island.

    A Clutha District Council spokesperson says roading contractors are out assessing the situation.

    They are keeping a close eye on the Pomahaka River at Leithen Glen, as it rises towards a second flood alert level.
