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.

New stormwater line on Carroll Street, Te Kūiti

18 Mar 2024, 6:51 PM

Traffic management is currently in place along State Highway 3/ Carroll Street in Te Kūiti to allow Council’s contractor McIndoe Group to install a new stormwater line.

Work will also be undertaken to divert an existing line under the KiwiRail network to the new stormwater line.

The works are part of Council’s short-term goals to upgrade the stormwater network, which will improve resilience and help reduce the impact of future weather events.

The project is scheduled to be completed early next month.


While both traffic lanes on Carroll Street and the north end of Rora Street are open, the shoulders are closed, so please drive with caution while in this area.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
