New Plymouth water pipe repaired
New Plymouth water pipe repaired

· We’ve fixed the pipe damaged during
ex Cyclone Gita and water is running through it.
· We’re now working through the night at our treatment plant to produce water, gradually refilling our pipes and reservoirs.
· We need to do this slowly so we can control the pressure, venting the air from the pipes as water rushes in.
· We expect refilling the pipes and reservoirs will take at least a day.
· After that there will be several days of flushing the pipes clean, so we can make the water safe to drink again.
· In the meantime, we ask everyone to continue to boil water until further notice.
· Our thanks to all our volunteers, contractors and staff.
· We’ll provide another update first thing tomorrow morning.
