Leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale

Waitomo District Council contractor McIndoe Group are planning to carry out water leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale starting this Friday, 19 September 2025.

Leak detection helps identify where there could be faults in the network and can also help determine where water loss is occurring.

The leak detection investigation will occur from 8am to 5pm and although there will be a temporary interruption to water supply, it should not overly disrupt or interfere with normal usage.

We also ask that you please conserve water as much as possible.

When no smoking signs were needed for the Waitomo District Aquatic Centre, Waitomo District Council turned to the Te Kuiti Primary School students who in 2013 designed smokefree signs for the council’s public playgrounds.

Dylan Murray, Alex Young and Weston Gill each came up with a new “Don’t be fooled, Smoking is not cool” graphic for the pool.

Their ideas were then combined into a smokefree pool sign featuring an illustration by Dylan and writing designed by Alex.

Waikato District Health Board health promoter Anne Lemieux says the signs were put up earlier in the summer season and she is pleased the council has made the complex smokefree.

“It’s keeping children safe from secondhandsmoke and not making smoking in public spacesnormal.”
