Water Issues

Helen Neighbourly Lead from Levin

Residents urged to STOP using water, conserve water and reduce wastewater discharge

On Display Indefinitely

Horowhenua District Council strongly urges Levin, Shannon and Tokomaru residents to conserve water use immediately.

Due to the rainfall event on 27 June 2021, our water treatment plants are struggling to effectively treat the muddy river water for our drinking water supplies. We kindly ask residents and businesses connected to town water supplies to use water sparingly wherever possible so our water supply services is not interrupted. Expect low water pressure in some areas.

Our wastewater plant is impacted by high water inflows. Please restrict wastewater discharge. If it's yellow let it mellow. And please hold off doing washing.

We thank you in advance for your patience and cooperation.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
