Demand had a break over the Christmas/New Year period
It's been a good start to 2018
With lots of people heading out of the Wellington region for the Christmas and New Year period we saw a massive decrease in demand. And a bit of rain on the side means some of the water in our storage lakes has been replenished.
There is still a ban on residential sprinklers and irrigation systems around the region.
We are not yet half way through summer, so keep encouraging your neighbours to #watcheverydrop.
We will be celebrating some of the communities this summer who #loveeverydrop, so keep your eyes peeled

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
