Water services
After a very wet night, we’re asking everyone in Te Awamutu and Pirongia to please conserve water.
We have a suspected leak at our Te Tahi water treatment plant, and using less water will help ensure there’s enough supply for everyone while our team investigates.
The water remains safe to drink, and our wastewater systems are operating normally.
We’ll provide another update by midday.
