Heavy rain is on the way - please prepare

We have been advised that heavy rain is heading our way again on Monday and Tuesday.

At this stage Metservice has not issued any watches or warning for our District over the weekend. However, we are anticipating some heavy rain from 12pm Monday, 27 October to 12pm Tuesday, 28 October which may approach 70mm over this period.

The rain may be particularly heavy in the Marokopa / Awakino / Mōkau areas, so we would advise people to drive to the conditions, and if they are in low lying areas and close to rivers to keep an eye on the river levels. 

Our district has recently been impacted by flooding and slips. Read more about our affected local roads.  Read more

Routine Hydrant Flushing

11 Jun 2021, 8:08 AM

We’ll be undertaking routine hydrant flushing in Te Kuiti, Maniaiti/Benneydale, Piopio and Mokau from Wednesday to Friday 16-18 June. During this time, we’ll make every effort to minimise the impact on supply. If temporary deterioration occurs, we recommend 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.
