Water Alert Level 2 - PIopio
Due to operational issues and the current hot weather, Piopio township will move into Level 2 water restriction from tomorrow - Friday 6 February 2026.
Water conservation measures are required to reduce demand on the water treatment plant. We ask Piopio residents to be mindful of their water use.
Water shutdown notice - William Street and adjoining streets
A water shutdown will be happening from 9am to 3.30pm today along William Street and adjoining streets. This is to allow council contractor Schick Civil to commission a new watermain line. Thank you for your understanding.

Water Alert Level 2 Restrictions in place for all communities

We urge residents in the Waitomo District to use water responsibly so there will be plenty of water available for all. 

  • Use sprinklers on alternate days between 6-8am and 6-8pm (e.g. even street numbers on even days; odd street numbers on odd days).
  • Hand held hosing is allowed at anytime. 

 


 

Waitomo District Aquatic Centre

On the 9th of February our Term 1 swimming lessons will start.

We have lessons that cater for all ages and abilities. They run for 5 weeks and you have the option of taking lessons once a week (5 lessons in total), or twice a week (10 lessons in total).

SwimFit classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday morning, 6.30 - 7.30am. These are swimming classes that focus on fitness and technique. 

We have a friendly instructor who provides a programme that can be adapted to suit different levels of swimming ability.
