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 drops to Water Alert Level 2

4 Apr 2022, 3:13 PM

Our river levels are looking good, our reservoirs are full and water supply demand has eased, which means we can now drop down to Water Alert Level 2.

A reminder of what Level 2 looks like:

- Use sprinklers on alternate days between 6-8am or 6-8pm (e.g. even street numbers on even days; odd street numbers on odd days)

- Hand held hosing is allowed at anytime.
