The Greater Greymouth Water Supply that the conserve water notice has been lifted!
β οΈ 3.40am Water is being restored.
10pm: the water is now off, and we are running off the reservoir supply. Please continue to conserve water.
*
The water shutdown at Coal Creek is provisionally locked in for this evening, September 9.
For up to six hours tonight, during work to move the water main at the Coal Creek bridge site, consumers will be relying on reservoir supply.
The work will be done from 10pm to 4am to minimise disruption.
The Council has reservoirs at Omoto, Arnott Heights, Tasman View, and Stanton Crescent. We will be reliant on these and, while the work has been planned in detail, there is potential for loss of supply should it be extended for any reason.
There is the potential for water loss in some elevated areas, and there may be limited or varying pressure during the works.
Residents of the following areas should continue to conserve water: Greymouth, Cobden, Blaketown, Boddytown, Karoro, South Beach, Paroa, Kaiata, Dobson, Stillwater, and Coal Creek, as well as Runanga, Dunollie, Rapahoe, and Taylorville.
As a backup, please ensure you have water in stock to last several days.
For road users, a closure will be in place on SH6 between Taylorville Road Intersection and Cobden Bridge on Wednesday. A detour is available via State Highway 7 and Taylorville Road, adding 15-20 minutes to the journey.
Updates will be posted on our page and website. Click the three dots on the top right of this post for update notifications.
