***UPDATE*** We now have 45% water supply in our Mokau reservoir and normal service in terms of pressure and flow.
Many thanks for your patience.
MOKAU RESIDENTS || We are currently experiencing water issues in Mokau, where the reservoir level is low, resulting in a drop off in water pressure.
Council staff are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. In the meantime, please conserve water.
