Water Alert Level 1 in place
Water Alert Level 1 is in place for Hamilton City and Waipā District residents.
Water Alert Level 1 means sprinklers can only be used between 6-8am and 6-8pm. You can use a hand-held hose anytime.
Water alert levels help to ensure water is used in a sustainable way so there is enough for everyone throughout summer.
Thank you for using water sensibly
