Water Issues

Helen Neighbourly Lead from Levin

Residents urged to STOP using water, conserve water and reduce wastewater discharge

On Display Indefinitely

Horowhenua District Council strongly urges Levin, Shannon and Tokomaru residents to conserve water use immediately.

Due to the rainfall event on 27 June 2021, our water treatment plants are struggling to effectively treat the muddy river water for our drinking water supplies. We kindly ask residents and businesses connected to town water supplies to use water sparingly wherever possible so our water supply services is not interrupted. Expect low water pressure in some areas.

Our wastewater plant is impacted by high water inflows. Please restrict wastewater discharge. If it's yellow let it mellow. And please hold off doing washing.

We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
