Update - 21 April 2026 at 3pm:
SH3 between Mōkau and Piopio will remain CLOSED until further notice due to significant damage caused by heavy rainfall this weekend. There are multiple large slips in the area, and crews are working hard to keep road users safe and clear the road as quickly as possible. It is expected the road will be closed for several days. SH43 between Whangamomona and Taumarunui is now OPEN with speed restrictions in place. Please drive with caution.
As at 3pm on 21 April, a few local roads remain closed while our roading crews work to clear slips and debris.
Sometimes small traces of metal can accumulate in plumbing fittings. Although the health risk is small, the Ministry of Health recommends that you discard a mugful of water from your tap each morning before use, to remove any metal that may have dissolved from the plumbing fittings. This simple tip is recommended for all households (both public and private water supplies).
