Annual water flush across Western Bay District

19 October 2018

Western Bay of Plenty District Council will be flushing all its water mains over the two-week period from 23 October - 6 November 2018.

The annual procedure of flushing water mains reticulation is part of Council's maintenance programme to ensure Council maintains the highest standard of water quality for customers.

The precautionary flush removes any residues that may have inadvertently accumulated inside the water pipes.

These flushing activities may create temporary flows of water down kerbs and channels and may cause a temporary discolouration of tap water. The water is safe for human consumption.

If you find any discolouration at your home, please run an outside tap for five to 10 minutes until the water clears. This will flush all internal plumbing.

The programme will take place in:

• Western Zone: Waihi Beach, Bowentown, Pios Shores and Athenree
• Katikati: Ongare Point, Kauri Point, Tanners Point, Katikati and Fairview Resort
• Central Zone: Omokoroa, Te Puna, Minden, Whakamarama and Wairoa
• Eastern Zone: Te Puke, Pongakawa, Maketu, Pukehina Beach, Paengaroa and Rangiuru.

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact Council on 0800 926 732.
