An Establishment Advisory Group has been appointed to serve as an interim advisory for Northland's new water organisation.

Contractors are working on a burst watermain affecting around 39 Bickerstaffe Road properties. 

UPDATE 9pm: The repair has been completed and we've got water flowing into the treatment plant.

Northland’s three district councils are making progress in the establishment of a new council controlled water organisation.

We understand how important safe, clean drinking water is to our communities in Kaipara. That’s why we want to reassure you that the water we supply is and always has been safe to drink.

The adoption marks a significant step toward establishing a regionally controlled water services entity.

The council controlled organisation will deliver drinking water and wastewater services from July 2027.
