PUBLIC ADVISORY – Update on Waimanu Ruptured Main Repairs

Repair works on the Waimanu ruptured pipeline caused by power fluctuations at the Waimanu Raw Water Pump Station early Wednesday morning (09/11) continue.

The on-going rehabilitation works at Waimanu will continue to affect our service delivery, as we are not yet in a position to return water production to full treatment capacity.

Valve operations will continue to maintain levels and sustain system pressures until repairs are completed.
Water carting trucks are on standby and can be requested in the case of an emergency by calling 5777 (all mobile networks).

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and we seek your patience and understanding until such time the water supply normalizes.
