The Water Alert Level for the Waitomo district is 1. Residents are urged to conserve water use in and around the home.

  • Avoid watering gardens during the day: the ideal time is 6am - 8am and 6pm - 8pm to reduce evaporation.
  • Use a water saving attachment on your hose and do not leave hoses running unattended.
  • Avoid washing paths and driveways, use a broom instead.
  • Avoid re-filling your swimming pool and use a pool cover when not in use.
  • Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth or shaving.
