The Waimakariri District Council operates 16 water supply schemes supplying water to over 15,000 properties.
If you have a problem with your water supply, please call the Council on 03 311 8900. If the problem is on the Council side of the 'point of supply', the Council's maintenance contractor will fix it for you.
It may be that your water supply problems are not the Council’s responsibility, for example, there is a private problem with the pipes in your house or the pipe between the Council’s service valve to your house is leaking. If this is the case, you will need to call a plumber and pay them to fix the problem.
