Temporary toilets remain for some areas of Waitara and Inglewood; asking residents to save water
The wastewater system is operating at capacity in Waitara and Inglewood, meaning some private toilets slow are slow to flush, so we’re providing portaloos for people to use if they need them.
Contractors will maintain the temporary toilets over the weekend at the following locations:
Inglewood
2 on Brown Street.
6 in and around Konini Street. One of these will be accessible.
Waitara
6 in and around Jackson/Leslie and Seymour streets. One of these will be accessible.
6 in and around Parris Street. One of these will be accessible.
The toilets in some homes in these areas may have already experienced overflows.
People are asked to conserve water eg: avoid using your washing machine for a few days and shorten showers.
There are no new waste water overflows in Waitara.
Konini Street and the Oxidation pond in Inglewood continue to overflow.
We have advised the Taranaki District Health Board and other partners.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause during this extreme weather event.
