HIGH WHAKAPAPA RIVER FLOWS 12-16th MARCH 2018

Genesis Energy will be undertaking an inspection of the Whakapapa-Whanganui Tunnel during which time no water will be diverted into the tunnel.

As a result, flows will be higher on the Whakapapa, Mangatepopo, Okupata, Tawhitikuri and Taurewa Rivers.

Note: This includes flows at the Okupata Caves.

The work is planned from:

  • Monday 12th March until Friday 16th March 2018

Whilst the works are planned to be finished by Friday 16th March, they may continue after this date for a short period if maintenance is required.

Please be aware that the flows are subject to natural fluctuation (e.g. weather events).
