Featherston and Greytown are still in a total residential outdoor water ban 🚨
This is due to demand levels remaining high, and low levels in the Waiohine river.
We need to keep demand down so no issues occur with our bores that might cause reservoirs to drop to low levels, as we experienced on Sunday 28 February.
The good news is that commissioning of an additional bore at the Waiohine treatment plant is progressing well, and once finished this should reduce the risk of this sort of event happening.
We’ll be in a position to ease restrictions when we see a sustained drop in demand, an increase in the Waiohine river level, and we are in a more resilient position with the new bore to rely on.
In the meantime please continue to conserve water.
