Flooded roads are reopening and Marlborough residents have been able to return home today, but some may find flood damage has rendered their homes unliveable.
Deputy Mayor Nadine Taylor said 900 people in 500 properties across Marlborough were able to go home after they were evacuated on Saturday.
"We had four settlements that we had evacuated and we've been able to say that all of those are able to return home," Taylor said.
