Tuatapere, Ohai & Mossburn have no drinking water. The water treatment plants are not operating following the storm.


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.
