Some properties in Ōtūmoetai are currently without water following a water main break.

Tauranga City Council reports the break is affecting about 34 properties on Hinewa Road and Vale Street.

"Our team are working to fix this now, but we expect water will be off for around four hours," says a post on the council Facebook page.

"If you are affected and would like some water, please call our contact centre on 07 577 7000 and we can arrange to have some delivered.
