Jensen said the majority of requests came between 5pm and 9pm, and were attended to by council staff and contractors.

Jensen said flooding has since eased in the Papamoa area today but Grenada St from Sunrise Ave to Sandhurst Drive, and Stevenson St would remain closed.
Today, council staff and contractors will focus on clearing these streets from water so they can be reopened, he said.
The council has received no reports of damage to housing in the new developments in Papamoa East, and no reports of damage in parks across the city.
There were two wastewater overflows in the city yesterday caused by extreme inflows of water, one at the Chapel St treatment plant and one at the Opal Drive pumping station in Papamoa.
Jensen said these overflows may have affected the harbour, Waikareao Estuary and Wairakei Stream.
