Water Shutdown - Lawrence Street, Te Kūiti 4.30pm

Sometimes accidents happen... 
The water supply to Lawrence Street will need to be shutdown for a few hours while contractors repair a broken watermain. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Urgent water shutdown for leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale
We have discovered that there is a large leak in the water network in Maniaiti/Benneydale that we need to find and fix, as we are losing a lot of water.
Waitomo District Council contractor McIndoe Group will be shutting down the water in Maniaiti/Benneydale today in order to try locate the leak.
Leak detection helps identify where there could be faults in the network and can also help determine where water loss is occurring.
There will only be a temporary interruption to water supply, and it should not overly disrupt or interfere with normal usage.
Work will include turning off a valve at each street for a few minutes to check for changes in water pressure.
A leak detection device will also be used to listen for leaks on the water mains.
If the leak is detected in the Council-owned network, repairs will be undertaken.
If you experience unclean water flow afterwards, please wait 10 minutes and then run an outside tap for at least five minutes or until water runs clear. This is to avoid any unclean water entering your household system.
We also ask that you please conserve water as much as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Local Alcohol Policy

9 Apr 2013, 7:00 AM

As part of the new Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 which comes in to force this year, Councils have the option of adopting a local alcohol policy to regulate some aspects of the sale of alcohol, including  the number, location and hours of licensed premises.

Waipa, Otorohanga and Waitomo District Councils would like to know your views on alcohol related issues.

To assist with this the Councils are conducting a survey on the sale and supply of alcohol locally.

You can collect a copy of the survey form the Waitomo District Council Office, Waitomo District Library, or download the survey from the related links.

Alternatively, you can visit www.waipadc.govt.nz and click on 'submit it'.

Your views are important.  Please return your completed survey to your Council by 10 May 2013.
