From Morning Report, 7:51 am on 20 February 2023

District Council is also warning Waipawa and Ōtāne. Residents to remain critically conserving water, with flood damaged pumps failing overnight.

Early this morning both flood damaged pumps at our Tikokino Road Bore have failed. 

This means they will be tankering water into reservoirs to maintain this supply to large parts of Waipawa and Otane. 

Central Hawkes Bay mayor of the district council Alex Walker spoke to Guyon Espiner.
