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.

Tips for recycling with your Green Bin:

Place recyclables such as plastic types 1 & 2, glass bottles and jars, aluminium and tin cans in your Green Bin and place this on the kerbside. Stack and secure cardboard and paper recycling, and place these items next to your Green Bin.

  • Only residential volumes of recyclables will be accepted (same volume as green bin). Larger volumes of recyclables can be recycled at the Waitomo District Landfill.
  • Only WDC blue refuse bags will be accepted.

The Kerbside Collection service does not accept:

  • Dark grey refuse bags
  • Un-recyclable items in Green Bins.
  • Overfilled Green Bins
  • Recyclables in other bins.

Thank you for your support in reducing recyclable waste going to Landfill and for supporting our local environment.
