Postponement again of official opening and blessing of the Mangaokewa Walkway Cultural Storyboards

Waitomo District Council, with the support of Ngāti Rōrā, have made a call to POSTPONE the official opening and blessing of the Mangaokewa Walkway Cultural Storyboards for the second time.This is due to the heavy rain forecast for the rest of the week. The ground will be wet and the weather looks worse for Friday (26 September 2025). It's important to us that this significant occasion is done correctly. We will schedule another blessing to be held later in the year when the weather has improved.

We thank you again for your understanding and support.

Hydrant Flushing - January

19 Jan 2021, 9:00 AM

We’ll be undertaking routine hydrant flushing in Te Kuiti, Maniaiti/Benneydale, Mokau and Piopio from Wednesday, January 20 to Friday January 22 2021.

While undertaking this work, we’ll make every effort to minimise the impact on supply. In the event that temporary deterioration of your water quality occurs due to flushing in your street, we recommend that you 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.
