Starting December 2, 2024, our contractor, Citycare Water, will be inspecting wastewater pipes in Eketāhuna. This is part of our effort to reduce stormwater entering the wastewater network, which can cause overflows.

👷‍♂What you need to know:

• Contractors may access your property for checks.
• They will carry ID and TDC warrants.
• Inspections will take place between 7:30AM-5:00 PM (weather permitting).

If you have pets, locked gates, or prefer to be home, let us know! Contact us at info@tararuadc.govt.nz or call 06 374 4080 (North) or 06 376 0110 (South).

All affected residents in Eketāhuna should have received a letter.
