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.

--

The replacement Kōpaki rail overbridge on State Highway 30 is taking shape, with much of the structure in place as the construction team look forward to the warmer weather helping progress on site. 

With the beams now being lifted into place, the next few months will see the bridge structure completed, with the deck in place by the end of the year. Work will also continue on the retaining walls, earthworks and pavements to build the new sections of SH30 to connect to the bridge.

Drivers are asked to please consider the safety of workers on and obey all temporary speeds when passing through the site.
