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.

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

26 Sep 2014, 2:14 PM

The year 7 students from the Piopio College social studies class contacted me about projects to help save the environment. The students wanted to find out more about how they could recycle better in their school and asked me to help them get started.

With this in hand, I set up an appointment with the group’s teacher Ms. Marriott and had a good discussion with them…

Kobus du Toit meets with students to talk about ways to recycle in school 

We talked about Recycle, Reduce and Re-use and how the environment can benefit from these initiatives. It is always inspiring to see the youth getting involved in projects like this in order to create a better and greener tomorrow.

Thank you for meeting with me Piopio College and all the best with your Waste minimisation project.

Waitomo District Council would be delighted to hear from other schools in the district that are working on similar projects. We can provide information or assistance to support you in your waste minimisation efforts.
