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.

New Zealanders have only a few days left to practice their democratic right and have their say on who their leaders will be by voting in the current local authority elections.

Elected representatives oversee a huge range of services, worth millions of dollars, which affect you and your family daily – from the pavements you walk on, to the roads you drive on and the recreation grounds where you cheer on your kids.

People who have not received their voting papers can still vote by casting a special vote but need to contact the Deputy Electoral Officer John Moran, on 07 878 0800, or visit WDC, Queen Street Te Kuiti between the opening hours of 8am - 5pm.
