Heavy rainfall causes overflow

  • Heavy rainfall has caused a wastewater overflow on Konini Street, Inglewood, which has gone into a tributary of the Waiongana Stream.
  • The overflow began just before 2am today and is ongoing. NPDC’s team is currently sanitising the site.
  • We’re sorry this has occurred and we’ve been in touch with iwi and hapū, Taranaki Regional Council, and the Taranaki health authority.
  • Warning signs have gone up advising people not to swim or gather kai (for 28 days) in affected areas.
  • Keep up with the latest information on the Can I Swim page on our website.
  • We are investing $248m over 10 years to fix the district’s plumbing.
