Featherston and Greytown asked to limit water use until further notice
Residents of Featherston and Greytown are asked to conserve water following an interruption to supply due to heavy rainfall.
“Heavy rainfall and high river levels has resulted in high levels of cloudy water in the bores supplying Greytown and Featherston. This has resulted in an unexpected interruption to the water supply,” says Laurence Edwards, Chief Advisor Drinking Water, Wellington Water.
“This caused reservoirs to drop to low levels and, because of this, the treatment plant supplying Featherston and Greytown needs time to recover. We are asking for the community to help by limiting water use as much as possible until further notice.”
“These measures have been taken to ensure that there is enough clean, clear, and safe drinking water for the community.”
