Given Auckland’s recent news around their low water supply, we thought we’d share how we’re tracking.

This graph shows our water use from June 5 – July 4 over the past 3 years. With the green line showing the maximum target of what we can comfortably supply - we need to keep below this line!

As you can see our use is much higher than in the past couple of years, and if we have a really dry spring we could need some serious water restrictions in summer.

Here are some ways to #loveeverydrop💙
- Shorten your showers (even cutting back by 1 minute can save up to 18 litres!) 🚿
- Turn off the tap when shaving or brushing your teeth
- Only put full loads of washing on at a time 👕👖
- Share your water saving tips with friends and family!
