Morrinsville and Tahuna water - 10 March 2025

We’re aware that some residents have noticed an earthy taste and smell in the water. This is due to the dry weather, which has affected our water sources. When there’s less fresh rain in our dam or reservoir - natural changes happen that can impact the taste.Things like increased algae, minerals, and lower oxygen levels can all play a part. 

Unfortunately, this has been a particularly dry summer, and this issue tends to pop up during warmer months. The water is still safe to drink and meets all drinking water standards. Our team is keeping a close eye on things, and we’ll share updates as we can.

17 March - Final update. Thank you Tahuna residents for reducing your water use. We appreciate your patience. A bore is now back online, as is the Tahuna Water Treatment Plant. Please return to level 2 water restrictions.
