Cyclone DOVI is forecast to approach New Zealand from the northwest today. Weather warnings and watches are now in place and people are strongly advised to keep up to date with the latest forecasts.
Irrigation water will be cancelled until the weather warnings have been lifted and this Cyclone has passed over New Zealand. We will then reassess the river conditions and undertake the necessary work required to re-open for irrigation water delivery.
