A planned water shutdown is scheduled to allow for urgent repairs on the main water line.
When:
Thursday, 25 September 2025
8:00am – 3:00pm
Properties affected:
Awakeri Road: 20, 26, 28, 52, 52a, 52b, 110, 140, 162, 172, 184, 244, 248, 268

What to expect:
- Water supply will be off during the times above.
- Once water is restored, mains flushing will be carried out to remove any air or sediment.
- Please run your outside tap (closest to the road) for 2–3 minutes before using inside taps.
- If water appears milky, keep flushing until it runs clear. This is just air in the pipes and is safe to use.
- If you rely on water for critical medical needs, please make alternative arrangements.
- We recommend filling a couple of buckets or your bathtub with water before the shutdown, and having a container of drinking water ready.
