11 Jan 2022, 2:33 PM

Waitomo District is experiencing a period of very warm and dry weather, with a lack of rainfall predicted over the coming weeks. 

Water conservation measures are required to reduce demand, with restrictions now in place. We ask residents to be very careful with their water use.

We are continuing to monitor the situation. Please take all practical steps to reduce your water usage. 

No sprinklers allowed.

Hand-held hosing only. 

Don’t use Council water supply to fill or top up your pools (including portable and paddling pools).

Use a broom instead of water to clean hard surfaces such as footpaths and driveways.

Avoid using water to wash windows, buildings and cars.

 

Te Kuiti, Piopio and Maniaiti/Benneydale water supplies are now on Water Use Restriction Level 2

Reduce non-essential water use.

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