Kia ora Oregon Drive, Ngāti Manawa Road and Beech Street whānau,
We’re doing some important work to upgrade the water mains and connections on Oregon Drive. To safely carry out this mahi, we’ll need to temporarily turn off the water supply in your area at two different times during the day.
When and where:
9am – 12pm Thursday 11 September
• Oregon Drive – odd numbers #63 to #101
• Oregon Drive – even numbers #58 to #82
• #66 Matai Street
12pm – 5pm Thursday 11 September
• Oregon Drive – odd numbers #31 to #61
• Oregon Drive – even numbers #32 to #54
• Ngāti Manawa Road – odd numbers #94 to #118
• #1 Beech Street
Once the water is back on, we’ll flush the mains to clear out any air or sediment. You might notice your water looks a bit milky at first, that’s just tiny air bubbles and nothing to worry about. It’s still safe to use.
What you can do:
• Run your outside tap (closest to the road) for 2–3 minutes before using any indoor taps.
• Keep flushing until the water runs clear.
• Fill a couple of buckets or your bathtub beforehand, just in case.
• If you rely on water for medical reasons, please make other arrangements during this time.
We know this is an inconvenience, and we really appreciate your patience while we get this important work done.
If you have any pātai or concerns, you can contact Customer Services at (07) 306 0500.
