***UPDATE: WATER SUPPLY RESTORED TO CARTERTON NORTH***
Repairs are complete to water pipes in Carterton North and supply has been restored to homes and properties from Plimsoll St north.
Thank you for your cooperation with this short notice request.
When the water supply is turned back on, it’s a good idea to open a cold tap [ideally an outdoor tap] slowly and let it run for a minute or so to clear any air bubbles that may have entered the system.
Air can cause the water to turn milky colour, but this will not affect the taste and should clear quickly. The water will be back on as soon as possible, but we recommend you fill up some containers with water before the time above and avoid running your dishwasher, washing machine, or any appliances that use water.
It is best not to use water from your hot water cylinder either as the cylinder may get damaged if the water level gets too low.

Our team is repairing a leak on Plimsoll St, which requires a water shutdown for all properties on the water network between Plimsoll St, north to Chester Rd.
We estimate the outage will be for approximately 2 .5 hours.
