Hi Neighbours - we would like to thank residents for their efforts to conserve water in the past couple of days as we monitored the effects of the storm on our Eastern Bulk Main repair site.
We're glad to say the latest inspection of the site has shown our repair work to date has been effective in protecting the site during the heavy rain. As we look forward to some better weather, we now do not expect to need to shut down the main as a precaution. Monitoring will continue until the full repair can be completed in coming weeks.
We have lifted the request for urgent water conservation at this stage but remind people to be smart with water use. Once again, we appreciate the support from our community as we continue to respond to this, and many other issues following the rain event.
Hi Neighbours, here's where we are up to as we deal with the effects of the last few days' weather.

Monitoring overnight and this morning of the riverbank subsidence near our Eastern Bulk Main water pipes has been completed and shows an improved situation. The urgent stabilisation works we have been putting in place in recent weeks have proved effective at this stage despite the weather and high river levels. Further rain is forecast locally and in the Taupo catchment this afternoon, so we are maintaining our monitoring.
We are continuing to request that people conserve water just in case we have to shut down this main, and we thank the community for their efforts.
It is important to note that these precautions are all about potential disruption to supply of water, not about water quality. There are no issues with our water treatment plant or our ability to treat water. The issue is basically that if further subsidence affects the Eastern main we may have to supply the city from the Western Main only.
The heavy rain, coupled with soaked ground, created a number of wastewater overflows at sites throughout the city yesterday. As of this morning we are aware of 77 properties which have been affected and clean-up work is being organised. We understand people want this work done as quickly as possible but we simply can’t get people and equipment to everyone at the same time and ask for your patience while our crews get it sorted.

Hamilton City Council staff are monitoring the Eastern Bulk Water Main site and there is the possibility that we may isolate (shut down) the Eastern Bulk Water Main as a precautionary measure due to rising river levels.
City Waters Unit Manager Maire Porter says residents can assist by conserving water for at least the next three days.
“Conserving all non-essential water is the best way for us to be able to manage supplying the whole city through one bulk water main if we need to. Easy ways to save water are taking shorter showers, turn off the tap when you’re brushing your teeth and refraining from using sprinklers or any outdoor water use,” says Mrs Porter.
“If a planned isolation was implemented today, we believe the impact on the city’s supply overnight would likely be similar to the events of 3 February, when we had some pressure loss issues but no loss of service for households.
“Regular updates will be on the Council’s website and Facebook page, however it would help get the message out if people can let their friends and neighbours know.”
The Eastern Bulk Water Main supplies around 27,000 homes and runs under the Waikato River from the city’s water treatment plant opposite Hamilton Gardens. A substantial section of the riverbank collapsed around the Bulk Main in early February.
The isolation of the bulk main will ensure all water is safe and will minimize any impact on the wider community.
We are moving and have 6 rubber tyres for removal ( or could deliver Hamilton East) Ideal for growing Potatoes in small space, or any other "gardening upwards" project.
