Watch: Wild weather caused flooding around the country.
Officials in Marlborough are "hopeful" they can get to work fixing vital infrastructure on Sunday as weather conditions in the region begin to clear, with evacuated residents permitted to return to their homes.
Deputy Mayor Nadine Taylor says the rain has now stopped and river levels are dropping, taking pressure off the stop-bank system.
A State of Emergency was declared in the Marlborough District on Saturday, with around 900 people evacuated from their homes as heavy rainfall caused significant flooding.
