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.

Well-maintained facilities important to Council

26 Jul 2023, 4:18 PM

Waitomo District Council is committed to providing its communities with well-maintained, hygienic, and clean facilities that everyone can enjoy.

However, we have encountered a concerning issue with individuals engaging in vandalism and graffiti, which is having a detrimental impact on our community.

Our dedicated property and facilities team works tirelessly to ensure that our public spaces are safe, welcoming, and functional for all residents and visitors. Unfortunately, these acts of vandalism not only tarnish the appearance of our facilities but also lead to unnecessary expenses that are ultimately borne by our ratepayers.

While we are disappointed by this persistent issue, It is also important to highlight that the actions of a small group do not represent the values or behaviours of the wider community. We also want to assure you that we are committed to removing tagging, promptly. Your patience and understanding is appreciated.

The council strongly encourages the community to remain vigilant and adopt a "see something, say something" approach. We encourage the community to actively participate in reporting any suspicious activities to our 0800 932 4357 phone number or directly to NZ Police.
