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.
