Several sites are under stop-go management while road works take place. The site at the 15km mark has periodic stop-stop full closures during the day from Monday-Friday for several months.
Water meters have been installed on all but approximately 200 properties. These should be completed by December 2022.
Remember: Council will not be charging for for water by meter at Whitianga until consultation has occurred through the 2024-2034 Long Term Plan.
Grant funding we've received from the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) of $4.8 million will be used to install water meters on the Whitianga and Whangamatā water supply systems.
This was endorsed by Council at its last meeting of the year 2020.
“Water metering has been proven to be a valuable tool for tracking down water loss, and accurately measuring water volumes reaching consumer properties,” says our Council’s Operations Group Manager Bruce Hinson. "We can make savings through locating major leaks, knowing who our biggest water users are, and working with them to look at ways to better manage and conserve water."
