A water truck is in Tuatapere opposite 4 Square. You can source drinking water there - you MUST BOIL WATER from the truck before drinking it.
If you have no power use a gas stove or any camping equipment suitable for boiling water. A water truck will be sent to Mossburn soon.
Nightcaps, Lumsden and Otautau still have water so residents of nearby towns can source water from there.
