Mon 6 May 2019:
We will be shutting down the water supply in Welcome Bay from 10pm tonight to conduct emergency repairs on a damaged water main. The shutdown will affect a large area of Welcome Bay, impacting about 850 properties. The streets that will be affected are available here: www.tauranga.govt.nz...
We'll work overnight to get the water back up by 5am tomorrow morning.
In the meantime please fill up a container for your use overnight if you need it, or make alternative arrangements if you require continued water supply. If you need additional drinking water, you can call us on 07 577 7000 to arrange this.
Thanks for your patience!
