Swimming alert at Fitzroy Beach
Please don’t swim or gather food at Fitzroy Beach.
Testing of the water at the beach by Taranaki Regional Council on 9 December returned elevated levels of the potentially-harmful bacteria.
We’re sorry this will inconvenience people hoping to spend the weekend at Fitzroy Beach.
Check our Can I Swim page for information on other beaches.
We have fixed a water pipe that burst in Urenui yesterday, and water has been restored to all affected homes.
Its believed a contractor drilled through the water pipe in Urenui yesterday afternoon, in Takiroa street and a full investigation is underway.
We thank residents for their patience while we repaired the pipe.
Residents are asked to run an outside tap for a couple of minutes until the water is clear if they find tapwater is discoloured.
We’re currently working on what our priority work programmes should be for our next 10-Year Plan (2021-2031) and if we should invest up to $300 million in improving our ageing water infrastructure.
