Planned Water Shutdown Tuesday and Wednesday!

This week from Tuesday and Wednesday Council is undertaking major planned water pipe replacement work on the trunk main from the reservoirs.

When the work is being done it is likely to cause low water pressure and limited water in many areas.

In other areas the water will need to be shut off for a period.

On Tuesday residents in the Bell, McKenzie, Hine Te Ariki, Short and Massey Street area will have a total water shut between 9am and 4pm.

On Wednesday residents in eastern Kawerau will expect low to limited water this will affect the Onslow, Liverpool, Ward, Domett and Fenton Street area.

The water shut off is being completed during the school holidays so that schools will not be affected by limited or no water.

Please contact Council on 073069009 for more information.

Representation Review Early Feedback Now Open!

We are now in the third and final stage of the representation process required before the 2025 and 2028 elections. The introduction of Māori wards means we will have changes to the current representation.  

Following feedback from tangata whenua and iwi, residents and ratepayers within the community, Council will propose how the district is best represented. You will have several opportunities to have your say through this process.
