Eketāhuna Water Supply Update

27 October 2025

Following the recent heavy rain and power outages, the Eketāhuna water supply has been under pressure and struggled to keep up with demand. Levels have dropped, but we’re slowly recovering - though we’re not out of the woods just yet.

With tonight’s forecast for more high winds and heavy rain, there’s a chance this weather could affect our treatment plant operations.

We’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and will keep you updated.
