Flooding closes NPDC venues, impacting roads and wastewater network.
Some of our venues, roads and services have been impacted by the heavy rain across the district today. If your property is flooding phone 111 for assistance.
Water in New Plymouth comes from Taranaki Maunga.
The water treatment plants at New Plymouth, Inglewood and Okato treat water from rivers while Ōākura water comes from an underground aquifer.
Once the water is treated it is then piped across the district clean, safe and ready to drink straight from your tap.
If you notice water leaks or problems with your water supply contact us immediately.
