Water has been restored to about 850 properties this morning.

Discoloured water could be affecting the surrounding Waitaha Rd area after the main water supply was damaged yesterday.

Tauranga City Council advises residents to run their tap water for about 10 minutes to flush the line if experiencing any discoloured water.

The water supply in Welcome Bay was shut down from 10pm last night to conduct emergency repairs impacting an estimated 850 properties. It was turned back on again about 1.30am.

Residents were asked to fill up a container for use during the night if they need it, or make alternative arrangements if they require continued water supply.
