We recommend affected properties fill up containers with water before 10am and avoid running your dishwasher and washing machine during this time.
When the water supply is turned back on, it’s a good idea to open a cold tap slowly then let it run for a minute or so to clear any air bubbles that may have entered the system. Air can cause the water to turn a milky colour, but this won’t affect the taste, and should clear quickly.
We apologise for the inconvenience caused by this outage and will update you if any of the above should change.

Daylight saving ends this Sunday 5 April, which means the clocks go back by 1 hour at 3am.
It's also a great time to check that your smoke alarms are working.

Firstly rake/sweep away and leaves then scatter about a handful per square metre. Any cheap clothespowder will do. It won't be slippery to walk on though do tread carefully. No need to scrub just leave it on. It will weather away relatively quickly. Best to sprinkle on when there is at least one fine day ahead.

Kia Ora - Are there any veggie growers allowed to do deliveries? I’m thinking of all that produce going to waste and wanting to support them.

Some of the work involved in these projects may include a short interruption to your water supply.
Usually we let our customers know about this with a letter a couple of days beforehand. But, to ensure the safety of our community and frontline essential staff, letter drops have stopped.
We’ll continue to do our absolute best to inform you about planned service interruptions using other methods such as:
• Loud speakers
• Signs up in the street
• Social media
• Website updates
Of course, during service failures like bursts the water can be interrupted without warning. In times like these we will respond by having water available on site and letting you know about it via social media.
Council contact centres are will have this information too – so please give them a call in the first instance.
