Tauranga City Council workers have located the break in a key water main which has caused supply issues to Mount Maunganui and Tauranga.
All businesses and residents in Mount Maunganui and Papamoa are being urged to conserve water after a main supply line failed last night.
A key water main, which supplied the Mount and Papamoa area, had failed twice since yesterday evening.
