About water rationing and restrictions

When conditions are dry and there is a risk of low river flows and/or seawater intrusion into aquifers, we consider restrictions for water use through a forum called the Dry Weather Task Force (DWTF). The task force is made up of water user representatives and council staff.

  • Water rationing and restrictions can be placed on both domestic users and water used as part of a resource consent.
  • Different restrictions may apply to different areas and users, depending on the situation.

Emergency restrictions

During an emergency, we may restrict or prohibit the use of water for any specified purpose, for any specified period, and for any or all users.

We let people know by public notice, Newsline, here on our website, social media and other channels.

The Council may enact penalties over and above those contained in the Water Supply Bylaw conditions to enforce these restrictions.
