As part of South Wairarapa District Council’s scheduled maintenance, Citycare Water needs to temporarily turn off the water supply to properties at 80 Underhill Road, Featherston.
This water shutdown has been postponed from its original scheduled date of Tuesday 21 July. We will advise the community of the new date on the Council website as soon as it is confirmed.
If you need water during this time, please be sure to fill suitable containers before the water is turned off.
- Try not to use hot taps while the water is off. Hot water cylinders may be damaged if the water level gets too low.
- Do not use washing machines, automatic dishwashers or other appliances that use water during the shut-off period as they may be damaged if used without water.
- In the event of bad weather, work will be deferred to a later date.
- When the water supply is turned back on, the water may have a milky-white appearance. This is caused by small air bubbles in the water supply and will not affect the taste or quality of the water. We will try to eliminate most of the air from the system when the supply is restored. However, if air is still visible in your water, running a tap for a few minutes should clear it from your pipes.
