Due to ongoing very dry weather and high water use, water restrictions will be implemented in Taihape.

Restrictions will now apply to Marton and Taihape – the rest of the District is still okay, but all residents are encouraged to reduce water use.

From today Council is implementing the following water restrictions. The imposed are:

Level 1 - Only handheld hose watering of gardens is allowed between 4pm and 8pm, daily. There will be a complete ban on the use of sprinklers at any time of the day.

Given the weather forecast, Level 1 restrictions will be in place immediately.

Updates will be given regularly. Further restrictions will be implemented if necessary.
