Water race disruptions
Due to flood conditions in the Rakaia and Waimakariri Rivers, disruptions and loss of supply are expected across all Selwyn water race schemes over the next 48 hours.
Malvern – disruptions likely due to outage at the Waimakariri Gorge intake.
Ellesmere – disruptions likely across all of the scheme due to outage at Early’s intake and Lower Rakaia intake.
Paparua – disruptions likely due to outage at Paparua intake.
Operators are working to restore the intakes, but as river levels drop further outages are likely.
