Waitomo District drops to Water Alert Level 2

4 Apr 2022, 3:13 PM

Our river levels are looking good, our reservoirs are full and water supply demand has eased, which means we can now drop down to Water Alert Level 2.

A reminder of what Level 2 looks like:

- Use sprinklers on alternate days between 6-8am or 6-8pm (e.g. even street numbers on even days; odd street numbers on odd days)

- Hand held hosing is allowed at anytime.
