“Around four customers were temporarily without main-supplied water and our Community Support team provided residents with an interim supply of cask water, with a local business also supported with a water tanker.”

The water supply has been fully restored to customers, however, traffic management will remain in place on Hutt St, until the road reinstatement is finished.

One lane is open in each direction, but motorists cannot turn right onto Angas Street.
