Kaiwera Downs wind farm road closure

With Mercury starting construction of stage 2 of its Kaiwera Downs wind farm, the road to the site will be closed for an extended period.

Isla Road will be closed from 24 July 2024 to 31 December 2026, although residents will be able to use it.

The closure is due to the significant increase in heavy traffic and large machinery during the stage 2 construction phase.

Flush water before drinking

The Ministry of Health recommends flushing a mugful of water from your drinking water tap each morning, before use, to remove any traces of metals from the plumbing fittings that may have dissolved.

This simple precaution is recommended for all households in the District, whether on public or private water supplies, as trace metals in water can pose a small risk to your health.

River Street closure

Due to the installation of a manhole for Mataura Valley Milk, River Street will be temporarily closed from 7:00am to 7:00pm each day until Friday 1 November.
