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.

Water Shutdown – Piopio, Friday 24 November 2023

20 Nov 2023, 9:49 AM

Waitomo District Council has contracted Camex Civil to install and connect new water mains to the existing network in Moa Street (SH3) and Tui Street in Piopio.

This will require a full water shutdown on Friday 24 November 2023 from 9am to 12pm.

Residents and businesses will be notified.

The following streets will be affected: Weka Street, Huia Street, Tui Street, Kiwi Street, corner SH3/Ruru Street, corner SH3/Kea Street, Kuratahi Street, SH3 (from Ruru/Kea Street until the last house heading back to Te Kūiti)

Please be assured that these works will be carried out as quickly as possible.

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.

This would be a great opportunity to collect the water in a bucket to pour on your vege garden or flower garden.
