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.

Please conserve water - Western area of Te Kūiti

10 Nov 2023, 12:14 PM

UPDATE: The main waterline has been repaired, but we are expecting it to take a bit longer until we are fully operational and water supply reaches all areas again.
Don't forget that when you turn your taps on again, there is likely to be dirty water. Please flush until the water is clear.
This would be a great opportunity to collect the water in a bucket to pour on your vege garden or flower garden.
A main waterline connected to our Hetet Street reservoir in Te Kūiti has been broken while nearby works were being undertaken.
There is a likelihood that houses in the western area of Te Kūiti may experience an interruption in water supply.
We ask at this time for you to please conserve water while we work to fix the breakage.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
