A council spokesman said roading and stormwater networks appear to have coped well with rain overnight, and there were only a few instances of minor surface flooding yesterday.
City council contractors responded to about a dozen callouts, relating to minor surface flooding, small slips and clearing debris from mudtank grates, the spokesman said.
While the Kaikorai Valley Rd underpass at Burnside was closed due to surface flooding in the morning, it had reopened by noon.
While a heavy rain warning for Dunedin remained in place until 1pm, other significant issues did not arise, the spokesman said.
A council social media post later that afternoon urged residents to do their bit to help clear mudtank grates so debris would not build up and cause flooding.
Station Officer Talea Uluakiola, of Lookout Point, attended the flooding at Burnside.
People had got into trouble when they drove through the flood waters, SO Uluakiola said.
While firefighters were assisting a stuck vehicle, another drove through and also got stuck.
About 1.50pm, firefighters from Lookout Point and Mosgiel stations were called to assist with a courier van which crashed in Morris Rd, Fairfield.
The courier driver had been on his way back to the depot when he lost control on the slippery road.
He was assisted by bystanders to get out of the van and the scene was left in the hands of police, SO Uluakiola said.
A St John spokesman said the driver was taken to hospital with moderate injuries.
Emergency Management Otago stakeholder engagement adviser Erica Andrews said it had been closely monitoring weather across the region yesterday.
Residents were encouraged to keep up-to-date with MetService and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency in case of changes to the forecast or highways being affected by weather.
