The water supply to Lawrence Street will need to be shutdown for a few hours while contractors repair a broken watermain. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Urgent water shutdown for leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale

We have discovered that there is a large leak in the water network in Maniaiti/Benneydale that we need to find and fix, as we are losing a lot of water.

Waitomo District Council contractor McIndoe Group will be shutting down the water in Maniaiti/Benneydale today in order to try locate the leak.

Leak detection helps identify where there could be faults in the network and can also help determine where water loss is occurring.

There will only be a temporary interruption to water supply, and it should not overly disrupt or interfere with normal usage.

Work will include turning off a valve at each street for a few minutes to check for changes in water pressure.

A leak detection device will also be used to listen for leaks on the water mains.

If the leak is detected in the Council-owned network, repairs will be undertaken.

If you experience unclean water flow afterwards, please wait 10 minutes and then run an outside tap for at least five minutes or until water runs clear. This is to avoid any unclean water entering your household system.

We also ask that you please conserve water as much as possible.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Council adopts Annual Plan 2022/23

3 Jun 2022, 11:13 AM

Council adopted its Annual Plan 2022/23 on Tuesday, as well as the Fees and Charges schedule for the coming financial year.

The Annual Plan (AP) is Council’s budget for each financial year. It explains how the Council will fund projects, activities and services identified for that year.

An AP is developed each year, except for the year where Council consults on and adopts a Long Term Plan (LTP).

The Annual Plan and our Fees and Charges schedule will be made available by 30 June on our website and printed copies will also be available.

To help you better understand what’s included in an AP, we have created an easy to understand information document as well as some FAQs.
