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.

Waitomo District Council adopted its Long Term Plan 2024-2034 (LTP) on 25 June 2024 after completing a consultation process with the community between 16 April and 17 May 2024.

The LTP will be made available from early July 2024 on our website. Printed copies will also be available.

You are welcome to view the LTP at the WDC Customer Service Centre at 160 Rora Street, Te Kūiti, or the Library on Taupiri Street.

Fees and Charges 2024/25

On 25 June 2024, Council adopted the fees and charges for 2024/25 after completing a consultation process with the community between 16 April and 17 May 2024. These fees and charges apply from 1 July 2024.

The Animal and Dog Control Act and Food Act fees were adopted on 4 June 2024.

Due to the impact of rising costs Council has increased most fees and charges by 5% in line with inflation. This ensures costs are recovered so that Council services are not subsidised further by rates.

The schedule of Fees and Charges will be available from our website  from early July 2024.

You can request a hardcopy of the fees and charges by contacting our Customer Services Team on 0800 932 4357 or email [email protected]
