Southland is a big place. Anyone who works here knows that distance is part of the job.
From Garston in the north, down to Bluff, across to Balclutha, and everywhere in between, WaterForce Southland covers one of the most geographically demanding regions in the country. Supporting that scale takes planning, commitment, and a team willing to travel when and where they are needed, day or night.
With established branches in Winton and Gore, WaterForce Southland is positioned at the heart of the district, giving farmers, contractors, plumbers, and homeowners reliable access to water expertise, parts, and service across the lower South Island.
Built for a Large and Varied Region
Southland farming systems are diverse, and so are the water challenges that come with them. Reliable supply, efficient irrigation, and well maintained infrastructure are critical, whether it is a high production dairy farm, a dryland operation, or a rural lifestyle block.
From their central locations, the WaterForce Southland team regularly supports communities including:
Invercargill, Winton, Gore, Mataura, Lumsden, Riversdale, Mossburn, Otautau, Nightcaps, Edendale, Wyndham, Tokanui, Fortrose, Bluff, Te Anau, Manapouri, Ohai, Dipton, Waikaia, Garston, Clinton, Balclutha, and many smaller surrounding districts and rural settlements.
That reach is backed by a service team that operates 24/7, understanding that water issues do not wait for business hours.
End to End Service Capability
The Southland service team works across domestic, rural, and agricultural systems. Their day to day work includes:
- Domestic pump supply, servicing, and replacement
- Locating and repairing water system leaks
- On farm irrigation installs and ongoing pivot servicing
- Workshop servicing of travelling irrigators
- Effluent system installation, upgrades, and repairs
- Bore lifting, servicing, and submersible bore pump work
This practical capability means issues are diagnosed and resolved by people who work on these systems every week, in local conditions.
Design Expertise that Fits the Landscape
Alongside field service, WaterForce Southland has access to experienced designers who understand Southland farms and terrain.
Their work ranges from efficient pivot placement through to more complex, off the beaten track solutions such as solar powered water schemes. Good design is often the difference between a system that copes and one that performs reliably year after year, and this local design knowledge is a major drawcard for customers across the region.
Local Stores, Local Confidence
Both the Winton and Gore branches are long standing fixtures in their communities. That longevity matters. Farmers, local plumbers, and DIY customers know there is a place they can walk into, talk through a problem, and leave with the right equipment or a clear plan.
From UV filtration units and pumps through to fittings, garden taps, and everyday water system components, the team works hard to carry what locals need. If something is not on the shelf, they will do their best to source it quickly.
The Winton branch is also the Southland base for Devan Tanks, allowing fast access to tank supply when time matters.
Proud to Support Southland
Covering a region this large is never simple. It takes committed people, well placed branches, and a genuine understanding of how water systems are used in the real world.
From Gore and Winton, WaterForce Southland continues to support Southland and beyond with practical solutions, experienced people, and the confidence that help is close by when it is needed.
