About the water supply

The source of water for Ōkaihau is an aquifer and two bores which serve a population of about 1200 people.

Supply improvements

Work on a new bore tapping into the same aquifer was completed in April 2021 but it has not been commissioned into service because of ongoing issues with turbid (dirty) water.
