UPDATE: 7pm. The plant is now back up and running and everyone should now be able to use water as necessary. Thanks again for your patience while the issue was being addressed.
Due to an electrical issue, the Parker Street Water Treatment Plant has shutdown which means there will be no water supply to the Motueka area. Please conserve water if you still have it.
Technicians are on site to rectify the immediate issue but due to the extent of the repairs required, we anticipate at least three hours before we have a full handle on the situation.
Water tankers will be made available from around 6pm for essential water needs at the Motueka Recreation Centre and The Top 10 Motueka Holiday Park on Fearon St.
Thanks for your patience everyone, we will continue to update as things progress.
