Water Shutdown - Lawrence Street, Te Kūiti 4.30pm

Sometimes accidents happen... 
The water supply to Lawrence Street will need to be shutdown for a few hours while contractors repair a broken watermain. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Urgent water shutdown for leak detection in Maniaiti/Benneydale
We have discovered that there is a large leak in the water network in Maniaiti/Benneydale that we need to find and fix, as we are losing a lot of water.
Waitomo District Council contractor McIndoe Group will be shutting down the water in Maniaiti/Benneydale today in order to try locate the leak.
Leak detection helps identify where there could be faults in the network and can also help determine where water loss is occurring.
There will only be a temporary interruption to water supply, and it should not overly disrupt or interfere with normal usage.
Work will include turning off a valve at each street for a few minutes to check for changes in water pressure.
A leak detection device will also be used to listen for leaks on the water mains.
If the leak is detected in the Council-owned network, repairs will be undertaken.
If you experience unclean water flow afterwards, please wait 10 minutes and then run an outside tap for at least five minutes or until water runs clear. This is to avoid any unclean water entering your household system.
We also ask that you please conserve water as much as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Council adopts Annual Plan 2022/2023

The Annual Plan will be made available by 30 June on our website. Printed copies will also be available.

Fees and Charges


On 31 May 2022, Council adopted the fees and charges for 2022/23. These fees and charges apply from 1 July 2022.


Due to the on-going impact of COVID-19, Council has made every effort to retain fees and charges at the 2021/22 level. However, costs need to be recovered so that Council services are not subsidised further by rates.


The majority of these fees remain unchanged. But some changes have been made to the fees and charges of the following activities:

• Landfill charges and the cost of the official WDC rubbish bag
• Production of a Project Information Memorandum (PIM)
• Elderly housing

The schedule of Fees and Charges will be available on our website from 1 July 2022.
You can request a hardcopy of the fees and charges by contacting our Customer Services Team on 0800 932 4357 or email
