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.

Waitomo District Council will soon start work to improve the quality of the public toilets in Mokau, to ensure residents and visitors to the District have access to safe, clean and attractive facilities.  

The facility located on State Highway 3 will be painted inside and out and refurbished with new flooring, toilet bowls and seats.  The sewage catchment chamber and filtration tank will be upgraded.

Funding for this work was provided for in Council's Long Term Plan 2018-2028 (LTP).  The LTP also provides for a new public toilet facility for Mokau, provided that external funding from the Government's Tourism Infrastructure Fund (TIF) is received. The outcome of WDC's application is yet to be confirmed.

Temporary toilets will be available during this work.
