FEATHERSTON WATER SUPPLY UPDATE

The Team from Wellington Water

FEATHERSTON WATER SUPPLY UPDATE – 4.15PM
Thank you to the residents of Featherston and Greytown for your conservation efforts so far, it has definitely made a difference!

We do however need to keep up the conservation efforts in both towns for the duration of the weekend so we are in a good position to get the main reservoir back online and ensure supply is adequately chlorinated. Things you can do to reduce consumption include taking shorter showers and only doing full loads of washing.

Residents of Featherston are still advised to boil water until further notice. Throughout the duration of the boil water notice being in effect, we will continue to provide bottled water and tankers for people to collect.

FEATHERSTON WATER SUPPLY UPDATE
Following restoration to the network last night, we were able to maintain water supply to Featherston.
It is important residents of Featherston continue to boil water before use. This will be in effect for at least three days – as we require three days of clear test results before this can be lifted. Even if your water looks clear, please boil before using it.

We are still providing bottled water at the Library and a static tanker at Fox Street. Bottled water will be available at Fox Street from 12pm also.

We will be continuing with the flushing of the network to ensure adequate chlorination – however this means we need residents of both Featherston and Greytown to continue their conservation efforts throughout the weekend to ensure we keep up with demand. Conservation efforts will need to continue throughout the works to repair the main pipe.

We encourage residents to check in on their neighbours who may be vulnerable, and to contact South Wairarapa District Council if they require any assistance in providing water to those who cannot collect it themselves.
