Residents on St Pauls Drive in Brookfield, Tauranga will experience a water shutdown on Friday, May 17 from 9am until 2pm.

Tauranga City Council approved contractor Pemberton Civil is isolating the water supply in the area.

Staff may need to enter properties on St Pauls Drive to flush water from an outside tap to prevent dirty water entering the property.

'The shutdown times stated are expected to be accurate.

'However sometimes circumstances beyond our control (equipment failure or other unforeseen circumstances) can cause the shutdown to extend beyond the times stated. We apologise should this occur,” says a council spokesperson.

'If you or a member of your household depend on water for critical medical support that requires a continuation of water supply - please ensure you make alternative arrangements for the times stated above.”
