Waitomo District Council will start inspections of manholes in Te Kuiti this week.

This may require access onto private property. Contractors will have letters identifying they are working on behalf of WDC and will be able to show ID. If your property was visited and no one was home, a brief note will be left in your letterbox.

The work being undertaken is to record the accurate location of Council infrastructure using a global positioning system.

This work is expected to take two to three weeks and could extend to other towns in the district.
