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.

Collaboration builds on great work at Maara Kai Roopu

Great things happen when collaboration is at play.

Council recently teamed up with Michelle Wi of Maara Kai Roopu to improve the health and safety and amenity values at the community garden.

A wastewater pump station has been onsite for decades, and when the site became occupied by Maara Kai Roopu, it was apparent that the pump station needed to be fenced off to minimise the health and safety risk.

The subsequent work was a collaboration between Council’s Water Services and ISBU teams who worked constructively with Michelle to ensure everyone’s needs were met.
