    A Red Heavy Rain Warning's in force for North Otago, Dunedin and coastal Clutha.

    NIWA reports Dunedin's already had 75 percent of its normal monthly rainfall for October.

    Otago Civil Defence group controller, Matt Alley, says teams will be closely monitoring overnight.

    He says they're expecting two peaks from the weather - at midnight and midday tomorrow.

    Residents and visitors to Central Otago's Omakau and Ophir are under a Boil Water Notice until further notice.

    Drinking water tankers are at the Omakau Domain and Swindon Street.

    Conserve water notices remain in place for Ranfurly, Naseby and Patearoa.
