Everything you need to help reduce your water use.
Auckland, please reduce your outdoor water use
With the dry weather continuing and dam levels dipping, Auckland is in the ‘preparing for drought’ level in our Drought Management Plan. Weather forecasts indicate that April may turn out to be drier than earlier anticipated, so we're encouraging everyone to use a trigger nozzle on garden hoses to prevent water wastage.
If you don't have a garden you can still do your bit by reducing your shower time by one minute. By doing that you will save 12 litres of water.
