Emergency Water Shutdown - Opaki Road
Services
Due to Higgins hitting a water pipe on Opaki Road an Emergency Water Shutdown is now in effect in the following Lansdowne streets - Opaki Road between First Street and Queen Alexandra Street and possibly Queen Alexandra Street. Water is estimated to be back on at 1pm today 25 September 2024.
• Try not to use the hot taps while the water is off. The hot water cylinder may be damaged if the water level gets too low.
• Do not use washing machines, automatic dishwashers or other appliances that use water during the shut-off period as they may be damaged if used without water.
• When the water supply is turned back on, the water may have a milky-white appearance. This is caused by small air bubbles in the water supply and will not affect taste or quality. We will try to eliminate most of the air from the system when the supply is restored. However, if air is still visible in your water, running a tap for a few minutes should clear it from your pipes.
