Bogus Water Testing Calls Ring Alarm Bells
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council is concerned for the security of local homeowners.
HBRC has this week received calls from residents of Napier and Hastings properties.
People have been contacted and
asked to commit to a time when they are home, usually out of
business hours, for a technician to visit their property to
conduct a water pressure test.
However, HBRC is not
conducting water pressure tests. Napier City and Hastings
District Council also confirm that they are not testing
water pressure at residential homes.
Councils’
advice to residents is to be sure that a service call is
valid before giving out any private details. If the call
seems suspicious, they should not give out information and
alert local Police.
Members of the public already
contacted should also inform the
Police.
