UPDATE: 2pm Thursday, 17 October
The leak has now been repaired, and water has been turned back on. It may take a little time for the supply to return to normal and you may experience discolouration, air bubbles, or pressure fluctuation.
Run an outside tap for 10-15 minutes into a bucket to help clear the line.
Please let us know if you have any ongoing issues with your supply, by calling us on 0800 WAIPADC (924 723).
Thank you for your patience and understanding during the repair.
UPDATE: 9am Thursday, 17 October
We are shutting off the main on Ōhaupō Road this morning to weld a patch on the steel pipe.
We anticipate the shutdown will only affect residents on Ōhaupō Road from Benson Road.
The water pressure is increasing for the rest of Te Awamutu, please continue to report any ongoing issues to us at 0800 WAIPADC (924 723).
