Consumers on the KAURU HILL and WINDSOR water supply are advised to Conserve Water. The source rivers for both schemes are high and dirty, so pumps have been turned off to avoid contamination of the reticulated scheme.
A reminder that Tokarahi is under a Boil Water Notice.There has been an E. coli found during routine sampling. CWL will now commence sampling to ensure that there is no further E. coli in the reticulation. This means three clear samples over the next three days. Corriedale Water Management Ltd. will inform consumers once we have three clear results.

River levels are being monitored by the regional councils, who are updating us on potential flooding threats. Our emergency management team continues to monitor weather watches and warnings as they come through from the MetService as the event unfolds.
