Leak detection work in Maniaiti/Benneydale

17 Sep 2025, 4:34 PM

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.

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.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
