Weather Watch - High wave warning along coastline

A high wave warning is in place for our coastline this weekend. A strong westerly swell is expected from Saturday 24 January through to Sunday 25 January, with a swell event (high energy waves) and elevated water levels predicted.

This wave event is big, even for the west coast, with forecast swell over 5 metres and maximum wave height over 10 metres possible. The highest risk period is within 1-2 hours of high tide.

The next high tide for the coastline from Marokopa to Mōkau is around 2pm on Saturday. For Sunday, high tide is around 2.50pm.

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.
