Notice of planned Water Shutdown

 – Waitete Road Te Kuiti

Waitomo District Council will be undertaking planned works on Waitete Road Te Kuiti to install a shutdown valve at the Te Kuiti Water Treatment Plant.

There will be a temporary interruption of the water supply on Thursday 17 November 2016, from 9am to 12 noon.

Please be assured that these works will be carried out as quickly as possible. While undertaking this work, WDC will make every effort to minimise the impact on supply. In the event that temporary deterioration of your water quality occurs, it is advisable to first run your garden tap then the others for several minutes to remove any air bubbles and to restore water clarity.  Please do not run water through in house filters before taps are running clear.

For further information please contact Waitomo District Council on 0800 932 4357.
