Waitomo District Council will need to shut down the water supply to Eketone Street, Te Kūiti on Thursday 16 November due to replacing a fire hydrant. This may also cause disruption in supply to properties on Colin Brook Place, Robin Azariah Place and surrounding streets. The works should be completed by 4pm.
We apologise for the short notice, and the inconvenience this might cause, but we appreciate your understanding.
