A heads-up to our Matarangi residents that we have a planned night time water shutdown late Tuesday evening as our contractor Veolia carries out essential repair work on the township’s water network.

The shutdown will begin at 10:00pm on Tuesday 9 December and continue through to 1:00am on Wednesday, 10 December.

This work is being completed at night to minimise disruption to residents and businesses. A full shutdown is required as the repair involves the Bluff Reservoir flowmeter, a key component that regulates and monitors water flow for the village.

To help ensure everyone is aware of the planned outage, an electronic message board will be active at the entrance to town, reminding residents and visitors of the shutdown times as they drive in.

We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience as we get this essential work done.

If you have any specific water needs during this time, please plan ahead to ensure you have enough supply on hand.
