Still conserving water
Rangitīkei District Council has asked Mangaweka and Hunterville residents to continue to conserve water over the weekend while staff work to get reservoir levels back to normal. The issue has been caused by recent weather conditions which were affecting the water going into the reservoir. The council has assured residents that the water is safe to drink.
