Emergency Water Shutdown | Taranaki St, Patea Pl and Okato Pl
Due to a burst water main an Emergency Water Shutdown is in effect in Taranaki Street, Patea Place and Okato Place. Water is estimated to be back on at 4pm.
• 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.
Please contact MDC Call Centre on 370 6300 if you have concerns.
