Water finally restored in Dargaville
Many homes and businesses in the Northland town of Dargaville went without running water during King's Birthday weekend. Photo: RNZ / Peter de Graaf Water has finally been fully restored in Dargaville after a massive outage caused by four separate pipeline ruptures last week. Friday's breakages in the 40-kilometre water supply pipeline all but emptied the town's water reservoir and left most homes without running water or under tight restrictions. Kaipara District Council said water was restored to the last homes on upper Hokianga Road, late on Sunday afternoon. However, a resident living just off Hokianga Road told RNZ her taps only started flowing again on Monday night, an outage of almost four days. The council had to scramble to set up water tankers and portaloos around town during the King's Birthday long weekend, while contractors brought in extra staff from Whangārei and Auckland to fix the pipe. In an update posted late on Sunday, the council said tap water in some parts of town was still discoloured, but it had been treated and was safe to drink. The discolouration was caused by sediment being stirred up as the tanks were refilled. A council spokesperson urged Dargaville residents to continue using water conservatively while levels recovered. As of Sunday evening, the reservoir was about 25 percent full. The delay in reinstating water to the upper Hokianga Road area - including Panorama Place, Cobham Avenue and Mountview Place - was due to problems with the booster pumps, the council said.

Camino Real Regional Utility Authority schedules water service outage
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The Camino Real Regional Utility Authority (CRRUA) is planning a water service outage for Monday, June 2. Residents and businesses in the area between McNutt Road and Rita Street and Lonnie Street to Camino Real Drive will experience a water outage beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, June 2. Adjacent areas also may be affected. The water outage will enable CRRUA to repair a pressure relief valve. The repair work could take several hours and once service is restored, residents may notice discolored water due to naturally occurring minerals in the distribution system, CRRUA said. Although the water is safe to drink, CRRUA said it recommends waiting for the water to become clear before washing laundry. The discoloration should disappear within 24 hours. If it does not, residents should flush faucets for several minutes, the utility said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
