To ensure a more reliable wastewater network, we are renewing and upgrading the water and wastewater main on York Street, Levin. To prepare for the next stage of this project, there will be short water shutdowns for investigative work on Tuesday 23 April 2024 to some properties in the area.
The following properties will be affected:
- Salisbury Street: Numbers 45 to 76
- Bristol Street: Numbers 25 to 55
- Essex Street: Numbers 45 to 48
- Oxford Street: Properties on the western side of the road from numbers 309 to 347.
The shutdown will affect the above properties in stages, with the longest shutdown being three hours in duration during a 9am to 5pm time period.
Due to the nature of the investigative work, other properties in the area may be affected.
To prepare for the shutdown, please fill up suitable containers and ensure you have a water supply on hand before the water is turned off.
To prevent any potential damage to your hot water cylinder caused by a low water level, please avoid using hot water during the shutdown and other appliances that use water, such as washing machines or dishwashers which could be damaged if used without water.
The water supply may be reconnected before our proposed finishing time, so please ensure all taps are turned off to prevent any flooding of your property.
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 taste or quality. Our contractor, Higgins Contractors Limited, 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.
In the event of bad weather, this shutdown will be postponed until Tuesday 30 April 2024.
A second water shutdown will take place in the upcoming weeks to continue the upgrade, once the investigative works have been completed. We will advise of the date and time once it is scheduled.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as this project is completed.
