The team will be carrying out essential connection works as part of the water mains and connections renewal project. This means there will be two planned water shutdowns affecting the following areas in Murupara:

What to expect
Once water is restored, mains flushing will be carried out to remove any air or sediment. To help clear your own lines:
• Run your outside tap closest to the road for 2–3 minutes before using any indoor taps.
• If your water looks milky, keep flushing until it runs clear – this is just air in the pipes and the water is still safe to use.
Important: If you rely on water for critical medical support, please make alternative arrangements during the shutdown period.
Helpful tips:
• Fill a couple of buckets or your bathtub with water for general use.
• Have a potable water container filled for drinking.
