Council's Water services staff take regular readings of total water production and of sample meters located on properties across the District.

Results of these readings show that the demand on the district water supplies is relatively low and no issues can be foreseen at this time.

During spring, summer and long periods of low rainfall, there is less water available to treat.

Residential water use including garden watering puts extra pressure on Council’s Water Systems when supplies are at their lowest.

Conservation and small changes made in behaviour in terms of how we use water in the home and at work will make a big difference.

Your support in conserving water use will help to prevent the need for any restrictions being placed on the supply.  By using water responsibly there will be plenty of water available for all.

The following levels of water restrictions have been set for Waitomo District water supplies. All communities are currently on Level 1.
