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.
