POSTPONEMENT of Cultural Storyboards opening and blessing

Waitomo District Council, with the support of Ngāti Rōrā, have made a call to POSTPONE the official opening and blessing of the Mangaokewa Walkway Cultural Storyboards. This is due to areas of the walkway suffering from washouts and flooding from recent weather events. The installation of the storyboards and blessing will be held later in the year, which will allow for the walkway to be repaired and stabilised. We thank you for your understanding.

Urgent water restriction in Piopio - Wednesday November 13, 2019

18 Nov 2019

UPDATE - 18 NOVEMBER
The urgent restriction for the Piopio Water Supply has been removed. The supply is back to normal status and the town reservoir has been replenished. 


Due to a burst pipe located on Piopio College property, the water level in the reservoir that feeds the town supply has dropped considerably overnight.

The water treatment plant is currently operating to full capacity and we are working to replenish the reservoir as soon as possible.

Piopio residents are being asked to conserve water. We will provide an update as soon as possible.
