Earthquakes felt in Kāpiti today
Kāpiti Coast District Council - earthquakes felt in Kāpiti today
UPDATE AT 10.15am
The Kāpiti Coast Emergency Operations Centre has deactivated. The Council is now responding to any further earthquake-related matters through business as usual activities.
We’re continuing to flush sections of the water network following reports of murky water, and our advice remains the same:
It is likely the movement of the ground has disturbed
material sitting in the bottom of the pipes. Our team is
checking to make sure it is not something more
serious.
In the meantime it is advised flushing the taps
in your house should help, but it may make some time to
clear.
The procedure for flushing your house is to:
·
Start at an outside tap at the front of the house and run it
fully open for 10 minutes
· Then flush the COLD
taps starting from the bathroom and then the laundry and
last the kitchen until they run clear.
If still
doesn’t clear and you remain concerned you may want to
boil your drinking water and contact our customer services
team on 0800 486 486.
