Water Supply Areas

Scheme type: On demand (pressure supply)

Kaikōura Urban and Kaikoura Suburban schemes have been merged together to create the Kaikōura Urban Water Supply. However, most parcels north of Postmans Road are still on restrictors due to the limitations of flow of water from the water main.

Water Quality Status:

Scheme shuts down automatically to keep silty water out during and after long or heavy rain fall.

What do I need to do?

• Make sure you have enough on-property storage to allow for at least three days without supply
• During and after heavy rain, minimise your water use
• Please make sure everyone who lives in or uses this property knows about this

How will I know about it?

If we expect a long outage we will update Council's Facebook page and also send emails if we have your email address. We will not send notices after every rain event.
