Preparing for drought

Auckland's water supply is currently stable

That means Auckland is in the water is precious stage where we encourage everyone to use water wisely

The section below outlines what to do if the preparing for a drought stage is introduced


In the preparing for a drought stage, our total dam storage level would be below where we’d like it to be and we'd be keeping a very close eye on water consumption along with the weather outlook. We may be preparing to put water restrictions in place, and will be working closely with Auckland Council, as the responsibility for introducing restrictions sits with Council.

You would expect to hear more from us with messages online and across social media urging everyone to use water wisely. We will be sharing our top water savings tips far and wide.
