Leaks on public land

If you notice a water leak on a road, in a park or reserve, please let us know – giving as much information as possible about the leak (e.g. location, size). 

Note: if the leak turns out to be on private property, we'll get in touch with the landowner to get it fixed.  

Some leaks require urgent attention, while others can be fixed under normal response times. Please call us on 06-759 6060 or email us.

 

Examples of leaks that require urgent attention

  • Water leaks that look like a kitchen tap turned on full.
  • Water leaks on private property which are causing internal damage to a property and the toby can't be found.
  • Water leaks on roads where the seal of the road is lifting.
  • Water leaks at fire hydrants or valves where the water is gushing out.
  • No water supply to a property.
