Announcement: Lake Pūkaki - water to be released from 10am Sunday 22 December.
Lake Pūkaki is close to reaching its maximum level and we need to release water to make room for expected rainfall. From 10am this Sunday, we’ll begin a controlled release from the Pūkaki spillway into the dry Pūkaki riverbed. Please do not enter the riverbed over this period under any circumstances and obey all warning signs.
Please remember that currents will be unpredicatable and river flows changing for the duration of this event.
Water levels will increase gradually until around 70 cumecs of water are flowing. Due to expected rainfall, we have not established an end date for this release. Updates will be made via this page.
If you see anyone at immediate risk of harm, please call 111 immediately.
