Hamilton City Council has moved to Water Alert Level 3 from Thursday 6 February, in response to record water-use in past weeks.

The increasing summer heat and demand for water has led to Hamilton moving to Alert Level 2 on Tuesday 14 January.

Over the past month, despite some rain, there has been a significant increase in water demand due to the warmer weather.

Summer is officially here so it’s time to start thinking about how much water we use. While we aren’t at water alert levels yet, it’s not far away if we keep using the amount we are.

Hamilton, Waikato and Waipa are now all on Water Alert Level 1.

The move to Water Alert Level 1 was triggered by a significant increase in water consumption across the region.
