Final repairs have been successful on a broken water main, which affected supply to Mount Maunganui and Papamoa.
The pipeline came back on at 12.50pm today and has remained stable, Tauranga City Council has reported.
"It will take another day for the water supply system to recover back to normal
operation levels."
Council staff would continue to closely monitor water supply levels for Mount Maunganui and Papamoa as the system recovered.
Council wanted to thank the community for their water conservation efforts made today.
