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.

Alternative water source project starts

9 Dec 2021, 7:57 AM

A project to investigate an alternative water source for Te Kuiti has started this week.
A drilling rig has been set-up at the eastern end of Te Kuiti Domain, and will drill to a target depth of 120m. This will take about a month.
The purpose is to locate an alternative or supplementary water source for Te Kuiti to improve the resilience of our current, single source supply.
