Ōpononi-Ōmāpere water scheme
About the water supply
A bore at Smoothy Road is the primary water source for the Ōpononi-Ōmāpere community and the Waiotemarama Stream is a secondary supply.
Supply improvements
The council commissioned a bore at Smoothy Road, Ōmāpere, in the summer of 2020/2021 to improve the resilience of this water supply. Level 2 water restrictions no longer need to be applied automatically each December.
