District-wide water flush begins

Friday, 27 October

Water mains throughout the Western Bay District are being flushed over the next two weeks.

All water mains in the district will be flushed over a two week period from Monday, 30 October by Western Bay of Plenty District Councils utilities maintenance contractor Veolia.

Flushing may create temporary water flows down kerbs and channels and may cause temporary discolouration of tap water.

If your water is discoloured you can run an outside tap for five to 10 minutes until the water clears.

Council must flush all its mains annually to ensure the water within the network stays fresh and clean.

If you find any discolouration at your home, please run an outside tap for five - 10 minutes until the water clears.

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