💦Water shutdown for leak detection in Piopio 💦

Waitomo District Council contractor McIndoe Group will be carrying out leak detection on the water reticulation at Piopio this week.
It will be carried out at night time between 8pm-2am,  from Tuesday night to Thursday night.
For this to occur we need to shutdown the network in zones and we anticipate each zone will be shutdown for approximately 1 hour.  

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.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
